Book Description
Translation is a phenomenon that affects us all on a daily basis, the more so now that dissemination of information is greatly enhanced by mode technology. However, there are no strict regulations on who can become a translator and what qualifications are required. The contributors to this volume strive to find out whether translators are taught, self-taught to trained, what the teaching or training programmes are like and how they can be improved. This is a companion volume to Teaching Translation and Interpreting:Challenges and Practices (edited by Lukasz Bogucki, Cambridge Scholars Publishing 2010). It contains papers delivered at two inteational conferences devoted to teaching translation and interpreting organised in Lodz, Poland, as well as invited contributions. The authors are translation and interpreting scholars and teachers from leading Polish and Ukrainian universities.
