Routledge : The Social Impact of Automating Translation

Explore the complex relationship between technology and human values with this academic collection from Routledge. This volume examines the practical effects of machine translation (MT) through the lens of an ethics of care, providing a deep look at how automation affects social structures. Readers will examine the ideological issues in MT development that are linked to social hierarchies. The book investigates the constructs that position MT as a labor-saving technology and how these ideas influence both the development process and how society receives these tools. By looking at the cultural roots of translation automation, this work highlights how biased outputs manifest in modern technology. This study offers a way to look at the transformative potential of care ethics to help guide more equitable technological progress. It is an essential resource for those studying the legal, political, and social dimensions of translation automation and its impact on the world.
