Abstract

Translation is integral to the interaction of people and cultures in almost every aspect of life where a communication gap comes off. Recognition of the pivotal role translation plays in museums, galleries or heritage sites as settings rendering the transmission of cultures and historical and cultural heritage has been growing, especially in today’s globalized and digitalized world. Thus, translation in the realm of museum and heritage sites has been a field of inquiry for scholars in the field of translation and interpreting studies and the interest in the field is growing in recent years. Nonetheless, studies adopting a practice-oriented approach with an attempt to merge conceptual and theoretical information with instances that reflect real-life settings are scarce. To that end, Translating for Museums, Galleries and Heritage Sites by Robert Neather offers invaluable insights, in-depth discussions, and practical guidance for scholars, professionals, and students within the fields of translation and interpreting studies and museum and heritage studies as to the translation work/process in these settings, hence an indispensable reference source for the translation of museums, galleries, and heritage sites.
