Rezensionen

An essential resource for students and teachers of translation. Drawing on established frameworks for project management and extensive knowledge of professional practices, Callum Walker guides us through the specifics of managing translation projects, from start to finish. With strong pedagogical foundations, this is the ideal coursebook and is immensely useful for self-study too.

Maeve Olohan, The University of Manchester, UK

The world of translation is incredibly varied and intriguingly rich in components, concepts, processes and tools. Each year the translation industry grows and this is only possible through proper management. Translation Project Management offers a textbook formal and explicit project management training for translation students and their tutors. Structured with a one-semester dedicated module in mind, chapters focus on pragmatic technical content and more process-oriented content.
