Rezensionen

"The volume is a comprehensive account of how community translation and interpreting (T&I) education (in formal tertiary settings) and training (non-degree or short courses) reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic, with contributors from all over the world covering both signed and spoken languages. ... I strongly recommend this edited volume for any T&I educators and trainers who are trying to take stock of and draw lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and are looking for insights from all over the world." (Natacha Niemants, Interpreting and Society, Vol. 4 (1), March, 2024)

"This volume will do much to stimulate thought on the road ahead for individuals, institutions, and governments in maintaining T&I standards, and in promoting innovation in the coming years, and it rightly recognises Australia's significant role in this." (Ron Witton, AUSIT In Touch Magazine, Vol. 32 (1), 2024)
