Abstract:

Translating and interpreting in crises is emotionally and cognitively
demanding, with crisis communication in intercultural and multilingual
disaster settings relying on a multitude of cross-cultural mediators and
ever-emerging new technologies. This volume explores the challenges and
demands involved in translating crises and the ways in which people,
technologies and organisations look for effective, impactful solutions to the
communicative problems.

Problematising the major issues, but also providing solutions and
recommendations, chapters reflect on and evaluate the role of translation and
interpreting in crisis settings. Covering a diverse range of situations from
across the globe, such as health emergencies, severe weather events,
earthquakes, terrorist attacks, conflicts, and mass migration, this volume
analyses practices and investigates the effectiveness of current approaches
and communication strategies. The book considers perspectives, from
interpreting specialists, educators, emergency doctors, healthcare
professionals, psychologists, and members of key NGOs, to reflect the complex
and multifaceted nature of crisis communication. Placing an emphasis on
lessons learnt and innovative solutions, "Translating Crises" points the way
towards more effective multilingual emergency communication in future crises.
