PDF کتاب Crossing Barriers and Bridging Cultures

This text presents translators from different linguistic backgrounds discussing multilingual translation in the European Union. All articles stress the political dimension of multilingualism, and the professional role of the translator as communicator, on which much of the credibility of a union “speaking with one voice in many languages” will ultimately depend.
