Digital humanities and literary translation: inclusiveness and transdisciplinarity in the case of the translation of Chinese literature into Spanish

This text analyzes the advantages of digital humanities for literary translators from a trans-disciplinary perspective, especially in the case of Chinese literature and its translation into Spanish, as digital tools are essential for cultural diversification and language learning. Thanks to numerous digital resources that reduce costs and reproduce information on a large scale, by putting in contact seemingly distant cultures we can find common aspects that generate acceptance and inclusiveness in a wider geographical reach. Digital humanities have generated not only a growing interest in foreign literature that is not part of the Western canon, but have also established new methodologies for literary translation.
