The current volume is the outcome of the 8th International Conference on Translation Studies, which was organized in October 2024 in Szaflary near Zakopane by the University of the National Education Commission in Kraków and the University of Szczecin. During the conference, issues related to general, literary, and specialist translation were once again a focus of interest for translation scholars and practitioners from Poland and Germany. The title of the volume reflects a universal approach to translation and its research trends, aiming to create a platform for mutual understanding and the exchange of experience between translation theorists and practitioners.
