Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies – Second Edition

Praised for its thoroughness and authority, the Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies has been the standard reference in the field since 1998. The extensively revised and expanded second edition updates this essential resource, providing a critical and comprehensive overview of one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the humanities.

The Encyclopedia is divided into two alphabetically organized parts:

• Part One: General – covers key concepts, central issues, approaches to translation and interpreting, and types of translation and interpreting. New entries include globalization, mobility, localization, gender and sexuality, censorship, comics, advertising, and retranslation.

• Part Two: History and Traditions – explores the history of translation across major languages and regions, including Russian, French, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Finnish, Brazil, Canada, India, and now Southeast Asia. Many entries are based on previously unpublished research.

Drawing on the expertise of over 90 contributors from 30 countries and an international editorial panel, the volume examines contemporary professional practice, research topics, theoretical debates, and historical developments in translation and interpreting worldwide. Key terms are defined in context, with extensive cross-references, diagrams, a full index, and bibliography.

Editors:

• Mona Baker – Professor of Translation Studies, University of Manchester; co-founder and editorial director of St Jerome Publishing; author of In Other Words: A Coursebook on Translation and Translation and Conflict; founding editor of The Translator; co-Vice President of IATIS.

• Gabriela Saldanha – Lecturer, University of Birmingham; founding editor of New Voices in Translation Studies; co-editor of Translation Studies Abstracts and Bibliography of Translation Studies.

This edition remains an indispensable reference for students, teachers, and researchers in translation, interpreting, and related literary and social theory.
