Bridging Inclusion Across Countries Through Community Translation and Interpreting

Bridging Inclusion Across Countries Through Community Translation and Interpreting

This edited book explores recent developments in community translation and interpreting, offering fresh insights into research, practice, and teaching around linguistic access and inclusion. Bringing together international perspectives, it examines how these fields evolve across diverse social, cultural, and ethical contexts.

Drawing on discussions from the 3rd International Conference on Community Translation (Warsaw, 2023) and new global contributions, the chapters address translation technology in non-profit organizations, inclusive language projects, health communication, and the use of artificial and machine translation in public services. Case studies from Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia highlight how community translation and interpreting promote equity, access to information, and social integration for multilingual and vulnerable populations.

This volume will appeal to students, researchers, practitioners, educators, language service providers, and professionals in healthcare, law and social services seeking to advance inclusion through language access.
