Abstract:

This volume is about computers and translation. It is not, however, a
Computer Science book, nor does it have much to say about Translation
Theory. Rather it is a book for translators and other professional
linguists (technical writers, bilingual secretaries, language teachers
even), which aims at clarifying, explaining and exemplifying the
impact that computers have had and are having on their profession. It
is about Machine Translation (MT), but it is also about Computer-Aided
(or -Assisted) Translation (CAT), computer-based resources for
translators, the past, present and future of translation and the
computer.  The editor and main contributor, Harold Somers, is
Professor of Language Engineering at UMIST (Manchester). With over 25
years' experience in the field both as a researcher and educator,
Somers is editor of one of the field's premier journals, and has
written extensively on the subject, including the field's most widely
quoted textbook on MT, now out of print and somewhat out of date.  The
current volume aims to provide an accessible yet not overwhelmingly
technical book aimed primarily at translators and other users of CAT
software.
