Table of contents

Applied Translation Studies (ATS), the performative branch of Translation Studies (TS), is concerned with translation activities that address a particular goal and a specific (group of) final user(s) and that imply doing something with, for or about translation according to some standard of quality. ATS designates fields which partly belong in TS and partly in other disciplines such as translator training/education (see Translation didactics), translation tools and translation criticism among others. This article will concentrate on aspects common to different ATS areas without focusing on any in particular.
