n this book, we aim to bring together seminal
approaches and state-of-the-art research
on interpretation as a tribute to Brian
Harris’ influential legacy to Translatology and
Interpreting Studies . Whenever Harris has sat
down to reflect and write, he has paved the way
to new approaches and promising areas of research
. One of his most outstanding contributions
is the notion of natural translation, i .e .,
the idea that all humans share an intuitive capacity
to translate which is co-extensive with
bilingualism at any age, regardless of language
proficiency . This contribution has proved pivotal
to translation and interpreting research .
In a world where most individuals speak more
than one language, and therefore millions of
translational acts are performed every second
by untrained bilinguals, the concept of natural
translation provides the arena for T&I scholars
to discuss issues directly related to or stemming
from it, such as bilingualism, language
brokering, community/public service and diplomatic
interpreting, all of them paramount
to interpreting research and the future of the
profession .

he volume brings together up-to-date contributions
on translation and accessibility,
with a major focus on audiovisual texts, their
translations and receivers across languages and
cultures . Featuring studies of dubbing, interlingual
subtitling, subtitles for the Deaf and Hard
of hearing (SDH), audio description and other
translation techniques, as they are employed and
developed across Europe, the book also covers
all the major issues related to the reception of
translated and accessible texts . Five essays focus
on children as unique viewers and receivers of
translated audiovisual texts, thus providing a
valuable contribution to the development of research
in audiovisual translation for children .
