Summary

Chapter 28 provides an overview history of translation and interpreting activity through the second millennium in Africa, the Americas (the ‘New World’), Asia (China, India, Japan, Turkey) and the Old World. The chapter concludes with a section on the twentieth century that links the professionalization of translation, terminology and interpretation with the development of transnational organizations (e.g. UNESCO: The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and supranational unions (e.g. the European Union) in the aftermath of World War II, along with continued globalization and technological progress.
