Introducing Translation

‘This incredibly wide-ranging yet succinct textbook shows not just how to translate, but how to think about translation, how to learn about it and how to produce knowledge about it. Kirsten Malmkjær draws on a wealth of experience yet remains very much in touch with current trends and technologies. The result is the intelligent person’s guide to a fascinating and complex field.’ Anthony Pym, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain‘Introducing Translation offers an accessible contemporary introduction to the what, where and how of translation. Kirsten Malmkjær’s textbook on translation distils theory, research and practice into a lucid and engaging hands-on overview of the ever evolving forms and roles of translation in the nexus of social change and technological innovation.’ Haidee Kotze, Utrecht University, Netherlands
