This volume offers a comprehensive, multilingual approach to the practice and profession of translation and interpretation as shaped by global markets, advanced technologies and digital literacy. It offers a joint, scholarly-pedagogical, practice-oriented perspective taking stock of recent developments and topical concerns in the field. The book provides a transdisciplinary overview of multilingualism as a phenomenon inextricably connected with the global condition of the subject, with emphasis on cross-cultural communication and the professions of translation and interpretation. As such, it constitutes an accessible and productive pedagogical resource.
