translation history.[3]

Contributions

Professor Cheung was a leading scholar in the internationalisation of Translation Studies, drawing attention to the Eurocentric focus of the discipline and helping to raise the profile of Chinese translation theory.[4] Her work on the special issue of The Translator helped provide non-European perspectives by focusing on Asian translation matters.[5] She has been interested in the role of comparative research in translation in her effort to describe Chinese translation concepts to non-Chinese readers.[6] Cheung opted to explain foreign concepts in familiar terms in order to negate the differences between cultures and tradition.[6]

The Hong Kong Academy of the Humanities awards the Martha Cheung Book Prize in Translation in her honour.
