This edited volume documents the state of the art in research on translation policies in both legal and institutional settings. Offering case studies of past and present translation policies from all over the world, it allows for a compelling comparison of attitudes towards translation in varying contexts. It 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 issues 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.Free ebook available at OAPEN Library, JSTOR and Project MuseContributors: Jonathan Bernaerts (KU Leuven), Albert Branchadell (Autonomous University of Barcelona), Paolo Canavese (University of Geneva), Flavia De Camillis (University of Bologna), Chantal Gagnon (University of Montreal), Shuang Li (KU Leuven), Willem Possemiers (KU Leuven), Marketa Stefkova (Comenius University Bratislava), Helena Tuzinska (Comenius University Bratislava), Sebastiaan Vandenbogaerde (Ghent University), Katarzyna Wasilewska (University of Warsaw)

In summary, this volume explores the less-investigated aspect of political representation through linguistic equity in legal and institutional settings. The volume has several strengths. One is is that it is empirically grounded in data collected from observations, case studies, interviews, and other research instruments. These various sources shed light on aspects of real-life translation activities. Another strength is the attention to different legal cultures and traditions in various geographic locations and languages.
