Abstract

The Internet is accelerating globalization by exposing organizations and individuals to global audiences. This in turn is driving teletranslation and teleinterpretation, new types of multilingual support, which are functional in digital communications environments. This book describes teletranslation and teleinterpretation by exploring a number of emerging contexts for language professionals.
