The 'Handbook of Translation Studies' (HTS) aims at disseminating knowledge about translation, interpreting, localization, adaptation, etc. and providing easy access to a large range of topics, traditions, and methods to a relatively broad audience: not only students who prefer such user-friendliness, but also researchers and lecturers in Translation Studies, Translation & Interpreting professionals, as well as scholars and experts from other adjacent disciplines.00Up to now, the HTS consisted of four volumes, all published between 2010 and 2013. Since research in TS continues to grow and expand, a fifth volume was added in 2021.00An additional benefit is the interconnection with the selection and organization principles of the online Translation Studies Bibliography (TSB). Many items in the reference lists are hyperlinked to the TSB, where the user can find an abstract of each publication.00All articles are written by specialists in the different subfields and are peer-reviewed.
