Becoming a Translator: An Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Translation is a comprehensive introduction to the theory, practice, and profession of translation, intended for students and those beginning or already working in the translation field. Douglas Robinson combines theoretical issues with practical guidance to help learners understand the nature of translation, develop professional skills, and handle the practical demands of translation work. The book begins by distinguishing between the perspective of the user of a translation and the perspective of the translator, through the concepts of external and internal knowledge, reliability, time, and cost of translation. It then presents the translation process, the translator's experience, the role of social interaction, the work environment, and the formation of specialized terminology. The author also analyzes translation as an activity performed within and on language, and addresses the role of social networks, culture, and situations where conventional translation practices are no longer appropriate. The 3rd edition is updated with additional information on translation technology, sociological trends and practices in translation research, along with examples, exercises, and supplementary reading materials. The book is suitable for translation and interpreting students, lecturers, Translation Studies students, and anyone wishing to develop their professional skills in the field of translation.
