institutional and legal translators
This edited volume documents the state of the art in research on translation
policies in legal and institutional settings. Offering case studies of
past and present translation policies from several parts of the world, it allows for a
compelling comparison of attitudes towards translation in varying contexts.
The book highlights the
virtues of integrating different types of expertise in the study of translation
policy: theoretical and applied; historical and modern; legal, institutional and political. It effectively illustrates how a multidisciplinary perspective
furthers our understanding of translation policies and unveils their intrinsic
link with topics such as multilingualism, linguistic justice, minority rights,
and citizenship. In this way, each contribution sheds new light on the role of
translation in the everyday interaction between governments and multilingual
populations.
