Reviews for The Bloomsbury Companion to Language Industry Studies

This astonishingly wide overview extends well beyond traditional translation and interpreting, gauging the impact of new technologies and embracing new kinds of language work, with many new names. Experts in their fields, the authors bring together the knowledge that has been accrued and the indications of possible futures, inviting ongoing dialogue with industry stakeholders. In lieu of guru-talk, here we reap the fruits of research. * Anthony Pym, Professor of Translation and Intercultural Studies, Universitat Rovira I Virgili, Spain * This volume is an excellent, up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of topics related to language-industry research. * Sharon O'Brien, Professor of Translation Studies, Dublin City University, Ireland * Featuring some of the foremost thought leaders from academia and industry, the Bloomsbury Companion to Language Industry Studies provides an extensive and highly readable overview of the language industry and the forces shaping it. As the rise of AI challenges existing assumptions, the volume correctly puts a strong focus on technology and how the language industry's various stakeholders are adapting to new ways of working. * Florian Faes, Co-Founder, Slator Language Industry Intelligence, Switzerland *
