Abstract

Community interpreting and translating: new needs for new realities reproduces the talks delivered at the I Congreso Nacional de Traducción e Interpretación en Los Servicios Públicos, organised by the University of Alcalá (Spain) from 21 to 22 February 2002. The proceedings cover different aspects of community interpreting and translation (cross-cultural communication, terminology and register, power relationships, interpreter role, responsibility and training, institutions and recruitment criteria, pilot projects, regional or local surveys, etc.). The aim of the conference was to gather professionals and experts from all over the world to exchange views, research results and experience in the field, as well as to address the new needs that societies and translation trainers and practitioners face as a result of new social and intercultural realities.
