The Interpreter's Resource

This text gives emphasis to the field of interpreting, which is too often treated as a sub-set of translation. All information is accompanied by postal and website addresses. It should be useful for those contemplating a career in the field, as well as those already working in it. (Topics in translation 19). "The Interpreter's Resource" provides a comprehensive overview of interpreting at the start of the 21st century. As well as explaining the different types of interpreting and their uses, it contains a number of codes of ethics, information on community interpreting around the world and detailed coverage of international organizations, which employ interpreters.
