Crowdsourcing and online collaborative translations have emerged in the last decade to the forefront of Translation Studies as one of the most dynamic and unpredictable phenomena that has attracted a growing number of researchers. The popularity of this set of varied translational processes holds the potential to reframe existing translation theories, redefine a number of tenets in the discipline, advance research in the so-called “technological turn” and impact public perceptions on translation. This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of these phenomena from a descriptive and critical perspective, delving into industry approaches and fostering inter and intra disciplinary connections between areas in which the impact is the greatest, such as cognitive translatology, translation technologies, quality and translation evaluation, sociological approaches, text-linguistic approaches, audiovisual translation or translation pedagogy. This book is of special interest to translation researchers, translation students, industry experts or anyone with an interest on how crowdsourcing and online collaborative translations relate to past, present and future research and theorizations in Translation Studies.

Table of Contents
“This book is an exciting, timely and necessary exploration of a topic that contributes to the expansion of the field of Translation Studies. It addresses some difficult questions, not least definitions of crowdsourcing, why Translation Studies should care, and what the professional and ethical implications are.”
“Jiménez-Crespo explores the edges of translation studies in his new publication. Supported by a broad range of literature, the book presents significant implications of translation crowdsourcing in different paradigms of translation studies as well as for the industry, and delivers a convincing argument as to the extent of transformation underway in the field of translation in theory and in practice. Any readers interested in the compelling impact of technology on translation will find the book highly engaging.”
“This book is to date the most comprehensive consideration of crowdsourcing and online collaborative translations. [...] It is obvious that this very useful book provides a refinement and deepening of familiar concepts, methodologies and models and extends our understanding of crowdsourcing and online collaborative translations. As it stands, the book is essential reading for translation scholars, researchers and students.”
“Jiménez-Crespo’s volume is a great contribution to the understanding of crowdsourcing and translation.”
“This book is quite innovative and is a must-read for translation researchers, translation students, industry experts or anyone with an interest on how crowdsourcing and online collaborative translations relate to past, present and future research and theorisations in TS. It successfully provides an in-depth look at translation crowdsourcing and online community translation from the vantage point of TS.”
“The book has provided us with numerous valuable insights and has drawn our attention toward several questions, which will hopefully be addressed in further investigation. Most of all, it is a subject that we have truly become interested in working on and investigating the notion of motivation in audiovisual crowdsourced translations by using the netnography of translator profiles. Furthermore, the book has already become part of our course on literature for our future reference. We highly recommend it to students and colleagues interested in the CT.”
