In his book Becoming a Translator: An Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Translation, Douglas Robinson discusses both the theoretical and practical aspects of becoming a translator. It is aimed specifically at novice translators and discusses subjects such as:

  • How the market works

The book includes a wide variety of lively activities and exercises to facilitate the learning of both theory and practice plus a detailed Teachers Guide with suggestions for discussion and activities and hints for the teaching of translation.
