Summary:

This book is a detailed guidebook designed for students, teachers, and specialists in translation who are looking to improve their comprehension of translation problems from an introductory level all the way up to advanced subjects. The significance of the book lies in its adoption of a bottom-up strategy to translation issues. This means that it does not principally confront translation topics as challenges and solutions, but rather as major concerns for translation students and researchers. The guidebook covers important subjects that are derived from both historical and contemporary considerations regarding translation, each of its six segments addressing translation issues at all levels of complexity. It will simplify the research work of any user.
