Benjamins Translation Library (BTL)
issn 0929-7316
The Benjamins Translation Library (BTL) aims to stimulate research and training in
Translation & Interpreting Studies – taken very broadly to encompass the many different
forms and manifestations of translational phenomena, among them cultural translation,
localization, adaptation, literary translation, specialized translation, audiovisual
translation, audio-description, transcreation, transediting, conference interpreting,
and interpreting in community settings in the spoken and signed modalities.

EST Subseries
The European Society for Translation Studies (EST) Subseries is a publication channel
within the Library to optimize EST’s function as a forum for the translation and
interpreting research community. It promotes new trends in research, gives more visibility
to young scholars’ work, publicizes new research methods, makes available documents
from EST, and reissues classical works in translation studies which do not exist in English
or which are now out of print.
