Journal of Specialised Translation

Dear all,
May I remind you to keep an eye on the website of the very useful Journal of Specialised Translation (www.jostrans.org). Issue 8, on translation revision, is now online. Issue 7 contains a salutary article by Jody Byrne on the consequences of translation errors - read and be warned!
