Abstract
This final chapter concludes that this book’s content constitutes only the start of a conversation linking translation and social media. It suggests additional avenues and research projects that would be welcomed to further support or even counter some of the proposed claims. A summary of the three key areas explored in the previous chapters, that is theory, training and professional practice, is also provided.

Instagram fitness celebrity Massiel Arias rose to social media fame by connecting with her audience in both English and in Spanish. All of her posts on her main account (@massy.arias) are posted with captioning done in both English and Spanish. When the account was initially launched, the content seemed to be her own, indicating that she did her own translations (Sarumi 2014). Other celebrities, however, hire social media account managers to schedule and publish their UGC (Kaufman 2013).
