[Commlist] cfp: edited volume on the influence of technology on translation industry

Fri Oct 27 21:29:37 GMT 2023



We would like to invite contributors to an edited volume on the influence of technology on translation industry. Professional translators, educators, and researchers are encouraged to offer their vision concerning the implications of digital advancements in this field.____

__ __

We intend that this book should offer an insight in the implications of technological impact on translation industry. Technologies, such as computer-assisted translation, machine-translation, or large language models, have altered the landscape of the industry by making translation faster and cheaper. Moreover, converting from language to language was made available to a lay person who casually uses an app in their smartphone to understand a foreign word. How do these advancements impact the translation market? What do the stakeholders think? Are translators happy? Are they afraid that they can be replaced? What should translators do to adapt to the promptly changing medium? Does the translation quality change? These and some other questions remain largely unanswered. The answers are wanted, however, because translation is critical to the global economy. With this book, we initiate a broader discussion among the members of the professional community and researchers, and we hope that practical solutions and guidelines could arise from this forum.____

The book is going to be edited by an international team:____

- Ruslan Saduov, Assistant Professor of English for Academic Purposes at Innopolis University, Russia, professional translator, researcher, and a former TAPP member.____

- Monika Banaś, Professor at the Faculty of International and Political Studies at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland.____

__ __

The book is likely to be published by Springer (publisher interested in the topic) or another international publishing house of recognition.____

Please, send a proposal of 100-250 words before November 5, 2023. The proposals will be discussed with each author within three days after the submission.
