Interest in translation and interpreting studies has grown considerably in the last three decades across the world. The need for translation and interpreting in public service settings within multilingual societies has grown along with global migration, while traditional foci for research into the translation and interpreting of traditional text types in traditional settings remain vibrant. Advances in machine learning and AI have raised questions about the future interaction between human translators and interpreters and machines, and the discipline has embraced intralingual and intermodal translation requirements, especially modalities of translation related to media accessibility.
