‘Lucas N. Vieira brings much-needed nuance and non-judgemental analysis to the conversation about machine translation use outside the language professions. In a book jam-packed with rich examples and thoughtful insights, Vieira gives voice to a wide range of tool users and rigorously distils his expert evaluation of complex situations into useful guiding principles, presenting the whole package in an engaging and accessible style.’ Lynne Bowker, Canada Research Chair in Translation, Technologies and Society, Université Laval‘This book presents a richly detailed empirical exploration of how machine translation is actually used in public services in the UK. Vieira does not shy away from making practical recommendations that are founded in a thoughtful and balanced analysis of the risks and rewards of using a technology that has quickly become omnipresent.’ Philipp Angermeyer, Professor of Linguistics, York University
