Abstract:

Investigating an important field within translation studies, Community
Translation addresses the specific context, characteristics and needs of
translation in and for communities. Traditional classifications in the fields
of discourse and genre are of limited use to the field of translation studies,
as they overlook the social functions of translation. Instead, this book
argues for a classification that cuts across traditional lines, based on the
social dimensions of translation and the relationships between text producers
and audiences.

Community Translation discusses the different types of texts produced by
public authorities, services and individuals for communities that need to be
translated into minority languages, and the socio-cultural issues that
surround them. In this way, this book demonstrates the vital role that
community translation plays in ensuring communication with all citizens and in
the empowerment of minority language speakers by giving them access to
information, enabling them to participate fully in society.
