Translating at Work Synopsis

In the daily life of multilingual and multinational organizations, knowledge, ideas and practices are constantly crossing borders and boundaries. To make this movement happen, employees of many fields beyond professional translation participate in translating across languages, organizational and national cultures as well as epistemes and communities of practice. This paraprofessional translation is a longstanding phenomenon, but it has not yet received much scholarly attention.

This volume brings translation studies, international business and organization studies scholars together to theorize, conceptualize and empirically study the practices and beliefs of these actors at varying levels of organizational hierarchies who create meaning and extend knowledge and understanding across boundaries at work.
