Rad jepodijeljen u dva dijela: u prvom djelu dana je kratka biografija autora te sadržaj samoga djela. Slijedi pregled teorijskih radova koji objašnjavaju što je prijevod te različite klasifikacije strategija prevođenja, koristeći kao oslonac radove Mone Baker, Rogera T. Bella i Christophera Taylora. U prvom djelu je također objašnjeno kako pristupiti prevođenju kulturno-specifičnih elemenata te računalnog nazivlja. Drugi dio rada sadrži analizu djela Detektivi interneta: Zov labirinta. Analiza je napravljena sagledavanjem različitih teoretičara prevođenja i njihovih klasifikacija strategija prevođenja. U analizi se nalazi pregled strategija kojima se moguće poslužiti kod susreta s različitim problemima kako bi nastao kvalitetan prijevod. U analizi se također predlažu potencijalne promjene koje je prevoditelj mogao napraviti.
