Być czy nie być tłumaczem audiowizualnym w Polsce?

Although the number of publications on AVT is constantly growing, it still seems that our knowledge of the professional practice and market are not sufficient. This article presents the results of a survey conducted among Polish audiovisual translators between November 2009 and April 2010. The main of the study was to investigate current situation on the professional AVT market and issues such as i.e. translator’s education, wages and working conditions.
