The prevailing technological trends for 'openness', 'sharing' and 'collaboration' are prompting participation by the Internet crowd in well-established professional areas of work, leading to the emergence of community translation or so-called translation crowdsourcing. Under the theme of community translation as a social activity and its possible consequences, contributors in this volume consolidate the developments to date and cover the latest initiatives while addressing pertinent issues arising from theblurred boundary between professionals and non-professionals."--Page 4 of cover.
