Meeting Description:

The times and epochs have passed, but meaning in translation – elusive and
fascinating, precise and pragmatically relevant – remains the main focus of
translation studies. The issue of accurate representation of meaning across
the languages has become particularly topical in the era of digitalization,
proliferation of MT and CAT tools, evolution of neural machine translation
networks, and the changes in the way information is generated, stored,
processed and transmitted.
This year, the main focus of the conference is “Translation Studies in the Era
of Digital Humanities”.
We hope that the conference will bring together researchers and translators,
academia and students, practitioners in language services and technologies and
language policy makers and will become a forum for promoting dynamic and
constructive debate, networking and research cooperation.
The fourth international scientific conference “Meaning in Translation:
Illusion of Precision” is aimed at exploring themes from the theoretical and
practical perspectives covering a wide scope of topics:

Terminology standardization and harmonization;
Pragmatic, semantic and grammatical aspects of meaning in translation;
Translation of sacred, legal, poetic, promotional and scientific and technical
texts;
Translator teaching and translator training;
E-learning;
Translation in the digital age;
Language service provision;
Digital humanities;
Sustainable development in humanities.
