In later chapters, the scope of the book expands to look more broadly attranslation automation in audiovisual translation and localisation. Importantly, thebook also examines the sociotechnical context, focusing on ethics and sustainability.Enhanced with activities, further reading and resource links, including onlinesupport material on the Routledge Translation studies portal, this is an essential textbookfor students of translation studies, trainee and practising translators, and usersof MT and multilingual LLMs.
