Founded in 1997, the Journal of Translation Studies is a double-blind peer reviewed bilingual journal (English and Chinese) devoted to all aspects of translation studies. While the journal has a special focus on the history, theory and practice of Chinese-English, English-Chinese translation, it also publishes high-quality articles on research regarding other language combinations and/or general theoretical aspects of translation. The journal also publishes book reviews by invitation.

In 2017, the journal launched a new series under the joint editorship of Professors Lawrence Wang-chi Wong and James St. André, both from the Department of Translation at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The journal has two numbers per year, one in June, the other in December. Contributions may be submitted all year round.

The Journal of Translation Studies is a joint publication of the Department of Translation of The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong Press.
