These will continue to be present in the communicational and economic policies of those involved in the field of specialized translation. The textbook starts with a historical account of the emergence and evolution of specialized language, followed by a description of contemporary specialized translation and communication. A thorough examination of modern specialized language isthen be attempted, explaining the ways in which specialized language has been shaped and the linguistic influences it has been subjected to up to the modern era.

Finally, a presentation of specialized translation in the context of interlingual and intercultural communication isbe given, citing various views on the formation of certain specialized texts with reference to the phenomenon of localization and the use of controlled language.
