Translation Technologies and Culture

Sixth Portsmouth Translation Conference, Saturday, 11th November 2006

Keynote Speaker: Anthony Pym The international conference aims to investigate the interface between translation technologies and culture from a range of different perspectives. In the modern world technology is both shaping the way communication takes place across the different cultures of the world community and, at the same time, being shaped by those cultures. What are the implications of this changing environment for the translator and the interpreter and those that train them? Do we understand the changes that are taking place and appreciate the threats and opportunities they bring with them?
