This volume "collects the work of several distinguished scholars from the discipline, all dealing with the translation of informative texts, be they on health issues, tourist texts or university syllabuses. But most prominent in this volume are the articles dealing with the fascinating subfield of news translation" (Luc van Doorslaer, Cetra). It "sheds light on the challenges facing the thousands of invisible translators involved in conveying information and the implications of the dominion of the English language" (Delia Chiaro, University of Bologna).
The volume includes contributions by Yves Gambier, Esperança Bielsa, Mª José Hernández Guerrero, Ovidi Carbonell, Henrik Gottlieb, Alet Kruger, Piotr Kuhiwczak and Dorothy Kelly.
