Abstract:

Digital transformation and demographic change are profoundly affecting
the contexts in which the language industry operates, the resources it
deploys and the roles and skillsets of those it employs. Driven by
evolving digital resources and socio-ethical demands, the roles and
responsibilities deriving from the proliferation of new and emerging
profiles in the language industry are transcending the traditional
bounds of core activities and competences associated with prototypical
concepts of translation and interpreting.

This volume focuses on the realities in the language industry from the
fresh perspective of current and emerging professional profiles and of
the contexts and resources that condition and support them. It traces
the industry's evolution, maps its current state and considers key
aspects of its workplaces, actors and practices. In an age when
artificial intelligence is challenging traditionally held views of
human performance, it addresses the issue of where and how human
agents add value to the industry's processes and products, with a
detailed, research-based consideration of the activities, competences,
roles, responsibilities and tools that characterize the language
industry of today and the near future.
