This user-friendly introduction offers comprehensive insights into all facets of audiovisual translation and media localisation.

Serving as a comprehensive guide spanning seven chapters, it begins by introducing audiovisual translation (AVT). It goes on to explore the historical backdrop and highlights the distinctions from traditional written text translation. The authors expertly navigate you through the primary AVT modalities: interlingual subtitling, dubbing, voice-over, subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing, live subtitling, and audio description.

A blend of theoretical concepts and practical, real-world examples in various languages ensures a seamless understanding of the fundamental principles of AVT. The book clearly guides you through the most important aspects of each type of AVT.

Designed for those exploring various AVT forms, budding audiovisual translators, and those interested in contemporary AVT trends and research, this book is an invaluable resource for students of translation and linguistics and for educators in AVT across higher education and media localisation programmes.
