Using Technologies for Creative-Text Translation

This book is the first of its kind in creating a snapshot of the state of the art in the use of technology in translating creative texts. The book gives an overview of a wide range of subjects that are developing rapidly and are likely to become substantially more important to both researchers and practitioners over the next few years. It includes work by researchers at all career stages, with strong representation by early and mid-career researchers who are likely to go on to shape the field in the coming years. It addresses active debates in the field (i.e. whether technology can/should be used in the translation of creative texts) from the perspective of data, rather than conjecture. Events and publications in the same field are increasing in number rapidly, along with the number of researchers expressing an interest in the topic. Therefore, this book is well placed to become influential in this development.
