Translating in Theory and Action: Contemporary Contexts in Translation
Cross-cultural communication is one of the challenges of our increasingly connected world, and diverse modes of translation play an important role in meeting this challenge. Given the prominent role of English in international communication, questions concerning the relation between translation and the global lingua franca are foregrounded. This special issue of ELOPE will examine the contemporary contexts of translation from and into English, and the concomitant theoretical and practical challenges. It will focus on fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between Translation Studies and the study of English by investigating the complexities of translation through diverse perspectives and research paradigms.
