The introduction is followed by full-scale review studies on various aspects of translator and interpreter training, providing not only an overall picture of the research themes and methods, but also valuable information on active authors, institutions and countries in the subfields of translator training, interpreter training, and translator and interpreter training in general.

Further, it provides a series of empirical studies conductedby the authors, covering a wide array of topics in translator and interpreter training, with an emphasis on learner factors.

The findings presented will help researchers, trainers and practitioners to reflect on the important issues in the discipline and find possible new directions for future research.
