Introduction

Never has the state of scientific and technological knowledge been so expansive as it is today. We
can see proof of this in the flood of technical publications, which are reportedly doubling in
number in the space of less than ten years. This situation offers enormous opportunities for
innovation — and also great challenges — to translators and interpreters. The status of “many of
the world’s translators’ work on scientific or technical texts” (p. 2) demonstrates the real need for
scientific and technical translation (STT) and its undeniably important role in the age of ongoing
industrial-scale translation.

Nevertheless, the activity of STT has not acquired the attention it deserves “if one compares it
with the insights that have been gained from theorizing and analysing the translation of
canonical literary and religious texts” (Olohan 2013, 425). In light of this, the publication of
Maeve Olohan’s Scientific and Technical Translation is particularly timely for its exploration of
this marginalized topic, and certainly serves as a welcome complement to the Routledge
Translation Guide Literary Translation (Wright 2016). This book offers a representative reflection
of her work over the years, including her in-depth exploration of STT, translation technologies,
translation project management and professional ethics, among other topics. It capably shows
the environments in which scientific and technical translators work, and addresses how
advanced translation technologies can be applied to typical technical and scientific genres.
