His current research interests are in translator-computer interaction and the changes brought about by processes of globalisation in translator training.

«This is a good volume that is worth having on the library shelves as it offers a large variety of approaches to the understanding of human-computer interaction in the context of translation as well as offering some practical examples for teaching and researching in this area.»
