Special issue of Translation Spaces 9:1 (2020) v, 176 pp.
2025 The machine translator’s visibility: A postphenomenological analysis of machine translation Translation Spaces: Online-First Articles | Article
This article proposes that machine and human translation differ in use and seeks to demonstrate this not by comparison, but rather using the framework from philosophy of technology known as postphenomenology. Following the work of Don Ihde and others, postphenomenology is intended to examine how… read more

The three measurements for post-editing effort as proposed by Krings (2001) have been adopted by many researchers in subsequent studies and publications. These measurements comprise temporal effort (the speed or productivity rate of post-editing, often measured in words per second at the segment… read more
2018 Translators’ perceptions of literary post-editing using statistical and neural machine translation Translation Spaces 7:2, pp. 240–262 | Article
In the context of recent improvements in the quality of machine translation (MT) output and new use cases being found for that output, this article reports on an experiment using statistical and neural MT systems to translate literature. Six professional translators with experience of literary… read more
