Summary
"This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the field of translation for students of other disciplines and readers who are not translators. It provides students outside the translation profession with a greater awareness of and appreciation for what goes into translation. Providing readers with tools for their own personal translation-related needs, this book encourages an ethical approach to translation, and an insight into translation as a possible career. This textbook covers: foundational concepts, key figures, groups and events; tools and resources for non-professional translation tasks and types of translation that non-translators are liable to encounter. Each chapter includes practical activities, annotated further reading and summaries of key points suitable for use in online teaching or self-study as well as a glossary of key terms. De-mystifying Translation: Introducing Translation to Non-Translators is the ideal text for any non-specialist taking a course about translation and for anyone interested in learning more about the field of translation and translation studies"--
