Other stuff in the bookshelf

Nowadays, translation is becoming more and more related with data gathering, data mining, information management and cultural mediation. Therefore, in order to meet the high-standards the market expects, the responsible professional needs sources of information, which are solid, updated, and authoritative. Of course, we refer to specialised dictionaries (both monolingual and bilingual), websites, glossaries, encyclopaedias, “handbooks” and other types of literature covering the theme of the document the professional is tackling.

We won’t take more time writing about dictionaries, except for this list…
