Overview

The volume of economic, business, financial and institutional translation increases daily. Governments strive to produce plain and accessible information. Institutions and agencies operate in more than one language. Multinationals produce documents in multiple languages to expand their services worldwide, and large businesses and SMEs also have to adopt a multilingual approach for accessing new markets in new countries. Translation and interpreting training institutions are aware of the increasing need for training in this area. This awareness is evident in their curricula, which include subjects related to these areas of activity. Trainers and researchers are increasingly interested in knowing and researching the intricacies and aspects of this type of translation. This peer-reviewed publication, resulting from ICEBFIT 2016, echoes the voices of translation practitioners, researchers, and teachers, as well as other parties gathered to discuss new issues in institutional translation and business, finance and accounting translation, as well as, in a larger sense, specialized translation.

Clearly, this compilation ranges across an impressive breadth of material from Egypt to Saudi Arabia and beyond, but nevertheless manages to maintain a sustained focus on particular issues which are at stake in the production of any translation. This volume is bound to be of particular interest to both experienced and emerging professionals working in the field of translation. It will also be an invaluable reference point for educators running courses on master programmes in Translation Studies since studies revealing such detailed analyses of applied translation are notably few in number. As such, this collection of essays is undoubtedly a welcome addition to the field and will surely be a must on the reading list of any postgraduate course which deals with technical, economic or legal translation.
