The paid crowdsourcing business model has brought a disruptive change to the translator procurement environment, offering clients algorithm-based automated systems as an alternative to conventional human-mediated project management services. This article analyses the conceptual/epistemological differences between the two from the viewpoint of knowledge management and considers the implications for future development of the industry.

Translation with commentary is a common format of a Master’s dissertation in the UK. The present paper reports how this type of dissertation is used in UK higher institutions at Master’s level, and discusses its advantages and disadvantages, including how the use of skopos theory might adversely affect the quality of students’ commentaries. It then proposes a new type of dissertation which the author calls “translation with empirical commentary”. The author argues that this type of dissertation offers pedagogical benefits in that: 1) it encourages students to discuss their translation strategies in an inductive manner, which promotes less tautological and speculative arguments compared to the traditional translation-with-commentary dissertation and; 2) it fosters students’ research skills, which can form a foundation for their research career if they decide to move on to PhD level study.

Opinions about the legitimacy of teaching theories of translation in translation classrooms have been divided: while translators and student translators tend to think that theories are not useful for their practice, most academics in Translation Studies and translation teachers stress its importance. Chesterman and Wagner's "Can theory help translators?: a dialogue between the ivory tower and the wordface" (2002) epitomised the divide a decade ago and since then, efforts to close the gap between theory and practice have been evident in different arenas related to translation. However, empirical evidence as to the status quo of theory teaching in translation is scarce. Against this background the present paper reports the results of a questionnaire survey conducted with translation teachers in the UK and Ireland, aiming to identify the theories taught in translation classes at UK and Irish universities and the teachers' perceptions about the teaching.

Technology is becoming increasingly pervasive and ubiquitous in our daily lives. While we enjoy the convenience it provides, we cannot ignore its potential negative impact. We asked translation project managers (PMs) working in Japan what challenges they are facing in their workplaces with regard to technology use and how they are dealing with them. Their answers encompassed all aspects of their day-to-day operations, including work tasks, career development, work conditions and human relationships. Circumstances concerning other actors involved in these operations, such as translators and clients, were also discussed. PMs were chosen as our study participants due to their intermediary position, which places them in continuous contact with both upstream and downstream players in the translation production process. The aim of the study is to provide useful information for the shaping of a successful and sustainable translation industry in Japan, and worldwide.

This two-day international event took place at the University of Portsmouth, combining an inspiring pre-conference seminar and an important conference at the university. The conference saw 60-strong delegates from more than 10 countries, from both academia and industry with various backgrounds. This diversity brought a lot of exciting exchanges. One of the organisers and a JSPS JBUK member, Dr Akiko Sakamoto, reports.

The purpose of the study was to identify current trends and possible problems with technology use in the UK language service industry and share good practice and offer recommendations for effective and constructive use of technologies in translation. We aimed to find out the opinions and perceptions about technology use in translation businesses by UK Language Service Providers (LSPs), particularly Project Managers (PMs). This stakeholder group was chosen as study participants as they are the key people who have strong influences on all aspects of translation practice in the industry but form a relatively underrepresented stakeholder group both in public discourse and the research literature.
