Argument
In a world that is increasingly interconnected, translation and interpreting remain indispensable and become steadily more complex and differentiated. The profile of the modern translator and interpreter must continuously evolve, specializing in multiple domains, developing cultural awareness and improving multitasking skills.
Academic research also needs to adapt and refine its approaches, methods and tools in order to duly address the challenges of the new translation practices and the most up-to-date technologies. The various discourses on translation phenomena are always likely to generate dynamic and intense discussions, shedding light on a wide range of theoretical and empirical frameworks.
