Description
This edited volume demonstrates the fundamental role translation and interpreting play in multilingual crises.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, limited language proficiency of the main language(s) in which information is disseminated exposed people to additional risks, and the contributors analyse risk communication plans and strategies used throughout the world to communicate measures through translation and interpreting.
They show that a political willingness to understand the role of language in public health could lead local and national measures to success, sampling approaches from across four continents.
The book will be of interest to students and scholars of healthcare translation and interpreting, sociolinguistics and crisis communication, as well as practitioners of risk and crisis communication and professional translators and interpreters.
