Translation and Localization: A Guide for Technical and Professional Communicators

by Bruce Maylath (Editor), Kirk St. Amant (Editor)

Detailed yet accessible, Translation and Localization brings together the research and insights of veteran practicing translators to offer comprehensive guidance for technical communicators. The volume begins with the fundamentals of translation before leading readers through the process of preparing technical documents for translation. It then presents the broader area of localization, again beginning with its key competencies. Concluding chapters examine the state of the field as computers take on more translation and localization work. Featuring real-life scenarios and a broad range of experienced voices, this is an invaluable resource for technical and professional communicators looking to expand into international markets.

The chapters by Sharon O'Brien on controlled languages and Paola Valli on localization are particularly useful.
