Introduction: A Note from the Editors on FULGOR Special Issue on Intercultural Aspects of Translation, Interpreting and Communication

In the contemporary world where communication takes place beyond national, cultural and linguistic borders on a daily basis, the work of translators and interpreters occurs in sociocultural contexts that go beyond the mere linguistic transfer between two languages. Translators and interpreters participate in intercultural communication exchanges where different identities, beliefs and attitudes coexist. To discuss the complexities faced by contemporary translators and interpreters, the two-day Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators (AUSIT) 2018 National Conference was held at Flinders University, South Australia, on 16 and 17 November 2018.
