Translation by development workers in Vietnam: A practice for empowerment
Translation is critical in development work in Vietnam, especially when introducing largely Western and sometimes ill-defined development concepts into local knowledge systems. Our study analysed online, semi-structured interviews with 18 development stakeholders in Vietnam and a 1.1-million-word bilingual corpus of development texts to examine how participants designate and perceive the concept of empowerment in their contexts and practices of t…
Representations of foreign nationals in Japanese disaster risk reduction policy: Increasing alignment with a “whole community” discourse
Purpose This article examines how foreign nationals have been represented in the disaster risk reduction (DRR) policy discourse in Japan in recent decades and analyses the consequences these representations have had for foreign nationals’ DRR there. Design/methodology/approach The article reports on a monolingual, corpus-based, critical discourse analysis of 23 years of White Papers on Disaster Management in Japan to assess the discourse represen…

Crisis interpreting and Deaf community access in the Covid-19 pandemic
Scientific and public health knowledge must be communicated efficiently to the public during a health crisis to allow communities to prepare, respond and recover. Public briefings and national campaigns are important components of this communication, and sign language interpreting may be an element of this process. This paper examines the experiences of sign language interpreters during the COVID-19 crisis in Ireland and the UK, and explores thei…
Trust, distrust and translation in a disaster
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe, explain and provide context for relationships between translation, trust and distrust using accounts of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake given by foreign residents who experienced the disaster. Design/methodology/approach This research provides a qualitative analysis of ethnographic interview data drawn from a broader study of communication in the 2011 disaster using the cases of 28 foreign re…
Resistance and accommodation: Factors for the (non-) adoption of machine translation among professional translators
Despite considerable advances in machine translation (MT), adoption by professional translators still meets with resistance. Research on the human factors associated with MT (non-)adoption is required to understand this state of affairs. We investigate whether two specific groups of professional translators use MT, what reasons they advance for its use/non-use and what factors might explain the reasons given. Participants advanced an equally dive…
Language, culture, and translation in disaster ICT: An ecosystemic model of understanding
This paper examines how the roles of language, culture, and translation could be modelled within a framework of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) used in disasters. It is based on empirical data drawn from a case study of foreign nationals resident in Japan for the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The case study revealed that the ICT used in the 2011 disaster was diverse; that interesting relationships existed between the forms …
