Empirical translation studies is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field of research, as evidenced by this comprehensive volume authored by esteemed scholars from around the world. This volume showcases the seamless integration of two novel research paradigms: socially oriented and data driven approaches to empirical translation studies. These two models not only broaden the scope of current translation studies but also ignite lively discussions among readers about the potential of developing quantitative research methods and harnessing advancements in translation technologies to significantly enhance the research capabilities of the field. The volume is exceptionally engaging, paving the way for the development of socially oriented innovative research methodologies to augment the existing research capacities of theoretical (descriptive) translation studies. By addressing real-life research challenges such as environmental protection and multicultural health promotion, this volume pioneers the exploration of advanced research methodologies for designing, developing, and analyzing large-scale digital databases for multilingual and/or translation research.

Through illustrative case studies, the volume provides valuable insights into the cutting-edge techniques of designing, developing, and analyzing large-scale digital databases for multilingual and/or translation research. These case studies showcase the practical applications of these methodologies, enabling researchers to gather, organize, and analyze vast amounts of data from multiple languages and cultures, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of translation processes and their implications in various domains.

In conclusion, empirical translation studies is a vibrant and rapidly advancing field, and this volume serves as a testament to the power of integrating socially oriented and data driven approaches. By expanding the horizons of current research methodologies and harnessing the potential of advanced technologies, this volume empowers researchers to tackle complex real-world research issues and make significant contributions to the field. As the field continues to evolve, it will undoubtedly inspire new research paradigms and methodologies, leading to further advancements in our understanding of translation and its role in shaping our globalized world.
