Geoff Samuelsson-Brown's second book relating to translation services avoids the temptation of writing a management textbook but looks at the real issues faced by the practicing translator who wishes to progress from being a sole practitioner to an owner-manager of a translation organisation. While the book deals specifically with translation, its contents can be readily applied to a range of service industries which are based around knowledge and skills.

This is the fifth revised edition of the best-selling A Practical Guide for Translators. It looks at the profession of translator on the basis of developments over the last few years and encourages both practitioners and buyers of translation services to view translation as a highly-qualified, skilled profession and not just a cost-led word mill. The book is intended principally for those who have little or no practical experience of translation in a commercial environment. It offers comprehensive advice on all aspects relevant to the would-be translator and, whilst intended mainly for those who wish to go freelance, it is also relevant to the staff translator as a guide to organisation of work and time. Advice is given on how to set up as a translator, from the purchase of equipment to the acquisition of clients. The process of translation is discussed from initial enquiry to delivery of the finished product. Hints are given on how to assess requirements, how to charge for work, how to research and use source material, and how to present the finished product. Guidance is given on where to obtain further advice and professional contacts. This revised edition updates practices in the translation profession and considers the impact of web-based translation offerings. Industry and commerce rely heavily on the skills of the human translator and his ability to make intellectual decisions that is, as yet, beyond the capacity of computer-aided translation.

Over the past three decades, translation has evolved from a profession practiced largely by individuals to a cottage industry model and finally to a formally recognized industrial sector that is project-based, heavily outsourced and that encompasses a wide range of services in addition to translation. As projects have grown in size, scope and complexity, and as project teams have become increasingly distributed across geographies, time zones, languages and cultures, formalized project management has emerged as both a business requirement and a critical success factor for language service providers. In recognition of these developments, this volume examines the application of project management concepts, tools and techniques to translation and localization projects. The contributors are seasoned practitioners and scholars who offer insights into the central role of project management in the language industry today and discuss best-practice approaches to the adaptation of generic project management knowledge, skills, tools and techniques for translation and localization projects.

This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the processes, principles, and constraints of project management in the translation industry. It offers readers clear insights into modern-day project management practices specific to translation services and an understanding of critical inter-related aspects of the process, drawing on key works in business studies on management, aspects of economics relevant to project management, and international standards on project management processes. Developed on the back of a successful module titled Intercultural Project Management, Translation Project Management provides a coherent account of the entire translation project management lifecycle from start to finish and pays considerable attention to the factors influencing decision- making at various stages and how external forces shape the way in which a translation project plays out. Through an array of real-world case studies, it offers readers opportunities to explore, analyse, and engage with six fundamental project constraints: cost, time, scope, quality, benefits, and risk. Each chapter offers discussion points, possible assignments, and guided further reading. This is an essential textbook both for all project management courses within translation studies programmes and for professional translators and translation service providers. Additional resources are available on the Routledge Translation Studies Portal.

Translation Power explores how translation profoundly shapes intellectual history and cultural exchange. It argues that translation is not merely a linguistic task but a dynamic force influencing intellectual discourse, literary styles, and cultural identities. The book examines how translations act as conduits for philosophical, scientific, and religious ideas, often catalyzing periods of intense intellectual innovation. For example, the translation of Greek texts into Latin significantly influenced the Renaissance. The study progresses by first introducing foundational concepts in translation studies and intellectual history. It then analyzes case studies illustrating the impact of translation on specific intellectual and literary traditions. The book investigates the impact of translation on literary styles, analyzing how adopting foreign forms enriches literary traditions. It also examines how communities construct their self-image through translated texts, shaping cultural identities. By bridging language arts, history, and cultural studies, Translation Power offers a holistic understanding of how translation shapes human thought and expression. It considers the ethical and political implications, acknowledging debates about cultural appropriation and linguistic imperialism. Ultimately, the book positions translation as a central engine of cultural and intellectual change, appealing to those interested in the power of language.

A Project-Based Approach to Translation Technology provides students of translation and trainee translators with a real-time translation experience, with its translation platforms, management systems, and teamwork. This book is divided into seven chapters reflecting the building blocks of a project-based approach to translation technology. The first chapter identifies the core elements of translation environment tools and collaborative work methods, while chapters two and four review the concept of translation memory and terminology databases and their purposes. Chapter three covers machine translation embedded in the technology, and the other chapters discuss human and technological quality assurance, digital ethics and risk management, and web-based translation management systems. Each chapter follows a common format and ends with project-based assignments. These assignments draw and build on real-time contexts, covering the consecutive steps in the workflow of large and multilingual translation projects. Reviewing the many translation technology tools available to assist the translator and other language service providers, this is an indispensable book for advanced students and instructors of translation studies, professional translators and technology tool providers.
