This is the first volume that brings together research and practice from
academic and industry settings and a combination of human and machine
translation evaluation. Its comprehensive collection of papers by
leading experts in human and machine translation quality and evaluation
who situate current developments and chart future trends fills a clear
gap in the literature. This is critical to the successful integration of
translation technologies in the industry today, where the lines between
human and machine are becoming increasingly blurred by technology: this
affects the whole translation landscape, from students and trainers to
project managers and professionals, including in-house and freelance
translators, as well as, of course, translation scholars and
researchers.
The editors have broad experience in translation quality evaluation
research, including investigations into professional practice with
qualitative and quantitative studies, and the contributors are leading
experts in their respective fields, providing a unique set of
complementary perspectives on human and machine translation quality and
evaluation, combining theoretical and applied approaches.
