There has been far less z -G development of the deeper implications of technology in its cultural, ethical, i Conducting Research in j ó political and social dimensions. In an attempt to address this imbalance, the ann present volume offers a collection of articles, written by leading experts in d M, To Translation Technologies the field, that explore some of the current communication and information r er se trends that define our contemporary world and impinge on the translation pro- as fession. The contributions have been divided into three main areas in which -La-Ho translation and technology come together: (1) social spheres, (2) education o st (e and training and (3) research. This volume represents a bold attempt at con- edn textualising translation technologies and their applications within a broader s)ch • cultural landscape and encourages intellectual reflection on the crucial role TC played by technology in the translation profession. rao nn sd lau tc Pilar Sánchez-Gijón is a senior lecturer in translation technologies at the Department iontin of Translation, Interpreting and East Asian Studies at the Universitat Autònoma de Teg R Barcelona, Spain, where she teaches subjects related to CAT tools, corpus linguistics, ce hs Pilar Sánchez-Gijón, Olga Torres-Hostench machine translation and terminology. ne oa lorc and Bartolomé Mesa-Lao (eds) Olga Torres-Hostench is a lecturer in translation at the Department of Translation, gh Interpreting and East Asian Studies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain, ie in where she teaches translation and localisation. s Bartolomé Mesa-Lao is a research affiliate at the Centre for Research and Innovation in Translation and Translation Technology, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark.
