Abstract
Translation studies in Germany are a diverse and multifaceted phenomenon. Germany was one of the first countries in the world to institutionalize the training of translators and this institutionalization has led to the development of a variety of schools and approaches. The seven papers included in this issue are representative of different research paradigms, but can be grouped into two broad areas: Hönig, Kußmaul, Nord, and Stolze adopt a functionalist point of view and reveal a didactic concern; Wilss, Wotjak, and Lörscher adopt a process-oriented, partly performance-analytical perspective, the last one with a view to translation teaching.
