Abstract:

"Translating in Town" uncovers administrative and cultural multilingualism and
translation practices in multilingual European communities during the long
19th century. Challenging the traditional narrative of nationalist,
monolingual language ideologies, this book focuses instead upon translation
policies which aimed to accommodate complex language situations with new
democratic principles at local levels.

Covering a time-frame from 1785 to 1914, chapters investigate towns and cities
in the heartland of Europe, such as Barcelona, Milan and Vienna, as well as
those on its outer rim, including Nicosia, Cork and Tampere. Highlighting the
conflicts and negotiations that took place between official language(s), local
language(s) and translation, the book explores the impact on both represented
and non-represented monolingual and multilingual citizens. In so doing,
"Translating in Town" highlights the subtle compromises obtained between
official monolingualism, multilingualism and translation, and between
competing views on official and private translation and transfer techniques,
during this fascinating era of European history.
