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

We would like to invite contributors to an edited volume on the 
influence of technology on the 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 insight in the implications of 
technological impact on the 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 layperson 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 can 
arise from this forum.____
