Centre for Translation Studies, Surrey

Description

The Centre for Translation Studies is dedicated to cutting-edge research, scholarship and teaching in translation, interpreting and other forms of inter- and intra-lingual communication. Since its formation in 1982, it has contributed to the theoretical advancement of translation and interpreting studies, whilst achieving real-world applicability by studying translation and interpreting as socio-technological practices, highlighting their economic and social value and their role as an enabling force for a globally connected world.

As human practices of translation and interpreting are increasingly supported, enhanced and sometimes replaced by technologies, the Centre’s vision is to promote a human-centric approach to technology use in translation and interpreting. Following its 2019 Expanding Excellence in England award, it aims to create an interdisciplinary centre for translation, interpreting and related forms of communication by bringing together traditional human-based research practices with cutting-edge advances in artificial intelligence.

The Centre’s research focuses on integrating knowledge about how human translators and interpreters approach their task and how they interact with and through technologies with research into the automation of these practices. It has a reputation for conducting high-quality research into emerging modalities of translation and interpreting.
