Resulting from discussions between translation theorists from all over the world, topics covered include: the nature of translation; English as a lingua franca; public service translation and interpreting; assessment; and audio-visual translation. The first part of the work covers a discussion stimulated by Peter Newmark's paper, and the second part allows invited colleagues to develop his topics.
