Mastery of translation tools is a required professional competence, and this volume lays a foundation that sets translators up for success. Blending conceptual content with practical activities, the authors offer clear explanations supported by rich examples that cover the range of industry-essential tools and technology-related practices, never overlooking the vital role played by translators themselves. Creating a comprehensive textbook on translation technologies in the 21st century is an ambitious undertaking, but Rothwell and colleagues have pulled it off in style!

Translation Tools and Technologies: A Practical Guide for Students and Translators is an excellent example of a book encompassing all the relevant aspects of translation technology as a sub-branch of Translation Studies. From a comprehensive introduction to demanding presentations of specific technology features, the coverage is truly global and balanced at the same time. The line-up of authors, who are eminent researchers, trainers, and practicing translators themselves, is a guarantee for both a state-of-the-art expertise of content and the presentation of this complex matter in a very accessible manner.

The book is an indispensable resource for trainers in translation technology, translation students, researchers, and practitioners alike. It has all it takes to become the standard guidance in the area of theory and practice of translation technology for many years ahead.

Translation Tools and Technologies is likely to prove to be an invaluable addition to any professional translator’s shelf. The importance of the topic is matched by the authors' expertise, the clarity of the exposition, and the exhaustiveness with which the topics have been covered. The book achieves its own aims admirably, and the authors are to be commended for the work.
