Tradução e tecnologia digital: Práticas, teorias, métodos de pesquisa e a sala de aula

Abstract

In this foreword, we provide the background of this issue on localization and digital technology. We attempt to explain why talking about technology is still a currency in Translation Studies and in the language service industry even though the topic “translation technology” has been around for decades and early accounts have already urged translators to adapt if they are to be or remain competitive. We briefly discuss localization as a case in point. We also provide a brief overview of the 13 manuscripts (including articles, translations, books reviews, and an interview) that have been selected to make up this issue.
