Abstract

The profound changes that the agri-food sector is currently experiencing and the rapid increase of agri-food exports to third countries require, more than ever, translation professionals with specialized training to facilitate the opening of new business lines into other countries. At the same time, suitable resources are needed to meet translators’ needs of research and consultation during their translation tasks. In this paper, we present a selection of resources related to the English-Spanish agri-food translation, and analyze its main features according to specific evaluation criteria previously determined so as to measure their suitability regarding translators’ terminological needs in the agri-food translation sector.
