Translation across Time and Space
This book investigates several aspects of translation, including literary, political, legal, and machine translation, and it covers a diversity of languages, including Arabic, English, French and Greek.
With the whole world becoming a global village, translation has acquired a remarkable dynamicity that encapsulates time and space, bridging gaps between cultures, despite all geographical boundaries. Contributions to this collection cross various spaces, including Jordan, Greece, Egypt, Malaysia, Romania, and the United Arab Emirates.
This volume provides researchers interested in translation studies with detailed insight into translation as a product and a process. The pedagogical implications of some of the chapters are expected to trigger future work on translators’ training in all types of translation.

"One of the most impressive features of this book is the fact that it addresses many important concerns in Translation Studies, such as literary, political and legal issues as well as machine translation and interpreting, which may provide readers with more insight into translation as a product and a process. Another impressive feature of this book lies in the fact that it is abundant with examples which are dealt with in great detail. Moreover, each chapter is concerned with one specific topic and is organised in a clear and logical way which guides readers to a better understanding of its content. [..] In conclusion, this book is a delightful read and will be of use not only to students and teachers, but also to discourse analysts and researchers whose interests lie in Translation and Interpreting Studies."
