Abstract

In this chapter on translation in computer science, Vampola regards the dialogue between translation studies and computer science as itself a translational process. He then lists a number of ways in which computer science can expand translation practice, through trans-organism and trans-organic translation. Vampola also suggests trans-humanism, and what he calls ‘transmission’ translation that generates human-machine assemblages and the communication between them. He also discusses transduction, or the generation of electrical impulses that allows communication between machines and their environments. He closes by referring to transformation, or issues of visualization of information and other interpretive acts, as well as trans-science translation that considers the role of expertise in decision-making processes.
