Ground-breaking in its study of translation of subtitling and dubbing of silent films, The Translation of Films, 1900-1950 shows how silent films went through a complicated editing process for international distribution. It is also a major step forward in research on translation during the transition to sound in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
