Abstract:

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.
