Developing Professional Expertise in Translation and Interpreting covers what professional expertise means for translators and interpreters in the fast-changing, globalised world and how it can be achieved in practice.

The book offers tactics and solutions for everyday issues, such as competence, etiquette, cultural differences, the translator's role in communication, dealing with mistakes and using new technologies, using real-life examples of the occupational challenges practitioners face in their line of work. These range from translating Donald Trump's controversial political tweets or interpreting during Oscar Pistorius' high-profile court trial.

This user-friendly guide helps students in translator training, or professionals starting out as translators and interpreters, establish good working standards and offers pragmatic solutions to common professional dilemmas for more experienced translators and interpreters.

This is also an ideal resource for professors creating curricula in the area of ethics and etiquette within translation and interpreting, offering an interdisciplinary approach and an overview of the literature regarding all key topics.
