Economic, financial, and commercial translation: an approach to theoretical aspects. A survey-based study

This article seeks to answer a number of questions often raised by both translator trainers and translation researchers in the field of economics and business. The subject areas often attributed to this field of translation practice are examined using a survey administered to professionals and university-level translator trainers, focusing on a range of subjects and areas in the world of economics, commerce, and finance. We also use this survey to examine lines of research where more emphasis may be appropriate, as well as how the term theory factors into training for the practice of translation.
