Written by a leading authority with over 20 years of teaching experience and in consultation with a range of academics running major courses across the globe, this is the first accessible and interactive introductory textbook to this growing area. It provides step-by-step guidance to students undertaking an undergraduate or postgraduate course covering community translation, public service translation, translation as social action or translation as a social service in multilingual and multicultural societies. The book covers key issues in this area of translation practice, including its distinctive features, challenges and requirements, role and ethical issues, common text types, translation strategies, translation revision and quality assurance and relationships with end users.
Including examples of a range of different text types, suggested activities and readings at the end of each chapter and additional resources and activities on the Routledge Translation Studies portal, this is the essential introduction for all students of community and public service translation.
