Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Inside China’s Professional Translation Market offers a groundbreaking empirical analysis of how translation quality is managed in China’s rapidly evolving professional translation industry.
By treating translation as both a textual product and a professional service, this study uncovers the unique challenges posed by China’s fragmented standards and lack of institutionalized quality assurance (QA) norms. Through six in-depth case studies of Chinese translation companies, this book identifies two dominant QA models—procedure-based and expert-oriented systems—and reveals how these frameworks operate in real-world practice.
Combining qualitative interviews with quantitative textual analysis, this research bridges the gap between academia and industry, providing actionable insights into translator selection, revision processes and client-specific QA adaptations. A dedicated section examines the growing but uneven impact of AI tools on China’s market, contrasting technological efficiency gains with the enduring need for human expertise in complex tasks.
Designed for scholars, practitioners and policymakers, this book advances theoretical debates on translation quality while proposing pragmatic solutions to elevate professional standards. Its evidence-based approach makes it an indispensable resource for understanding China’s translation industry—and a catalyst for improving QA practices globally.
