News Translation
This article first provides an overview of the main topics discussed during the course of the past decades in news translation research and explains why this forms a subfield that exemplifies the broadened definition of translation and the broadened scope of translation studies. The main aim of the article, however, is to describe and compare the parallels and differences between the various types of flows investigated in journalism studies and t…
Blurring borders in intralingual translation research
Intralingual translation research is on the rise, as evidenced by the numerous recent publications and academic events on this subject. Some scholars have (re)defined and typologized intralingual translation, attempting to shed light on an otherwise seemingly nebulous concept. However, in view of the complexity and diversity of the practices that can be studied under the umbrella term of intralingual translation, a blurred borders approach might …
Assisting translations in border crossing
This contribution explores the position of translation policy and its connection to translation flows in translation studies research. Power relationships (among languages, cultures, etc.) are essential when assessing and interpreting translation flows. Despite the hyper-centrality of English, other countries and language areas develop cultural policies to export their own literature through translation. The case study furnished here deals with t…
News translation as collaboration in multilingual community radio stations in South Africa
This article discusses the collaborative nature of news translation, specifically in the case of community radio in South Africa. It starts with a short overview of community radio in South Africa, emphasising the participatory and interactive nature thereof. The following section provides a short overview of journalistic translation highlighting the multi-source and multiple-author realities of this form of translation. These characteristics of …
Translation studies
This contribution starts from the observation that translation and translation studies (TS) seem to be perceived in a more vocational way than adjacent practices and disciplines. In the beginning of the twenty-first century, digitization and transmedial production led to a diversification of text-modifying and text-adapting practices, which have also affected the romantic concepts of authorship as well as the dominance of the aesthetics of opposi…
Translating the North–South imagological feature in a movie
This article uses an imagological perspective to compare the French movie Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis with its Italian adaptations, including the remake Benvenuti al Sud. Since the Italian relocalised version is centred around the North–South opposition of the original French film, this paper first describes the features of the North–South constant in imagology, and subsequently provides an overview of the historical background of the stereotypes a…
Translation without a source text
Although journalistic translation research has been quite successful over the past 15 years, from a methodological point of view many scholars struggle with the total or partial absence of a traceable source text. As a consequence, parallel corpora are rare and the researcher often has to rely on multilingual sets of texts that are comparable. This contribution deals in detail with that essential methodological problem. It relates the multisource…
The methodological remainder in news translation research
This background paper recalls the main findings gained so far in news translation research. It also presents issues and questions which still deserve scholarly attention. The contributions to this special issue are contextualized in relation to research into news translation, or journalistic translation more widely. One of the major issues concerns the choice of methodological approaches to tackle the phenomenon of news translation. The contribut…

Measuring relationships in Translation Studies. On affiliations and keyword frequencies in the Translation Studies Bibliography
This article provides an analysis of some aspects of academic publishing in Translation Studies, based on the data available in the databases of the online Translation Studies Bibliography. It concentrates especially on: the geographical spread of Translation and Interpreting research measured through academic affiliations; and links between keyword frequency and journals, as well as languages of publication. Firstly, an explanation is given as t…
Handbook of Translation Studies
As a meaningful manifestation of how institutionalized the discipline has become, the new Handbook of Translation Studies is most welcome. It joins the other signs of maturation such as Summer Schools, the development of academic curricula, historical surveys, journals, book series, textbooks, terminologies, bibliographies and encyclopedias. The HTS aims at disseminating knowledge about translation and interpreting and providing easy access to a …
Translating, Narrating and Constructing Images in Journalism with a Test Case on Representation in Flemish TV News
This contribution develops a framework for research dealing with translation and localization in the media. It is stated that the borderlines between translation, localization and rewriting have become very blurred in the context of news production. Parallel to transediting, a term coined earlier, the concept of the journalator is presented, i.e., an interventionist newsroom worker who makes abundant use of translation when transferring and refor…

The double extension of translation in the journalistic field
This article starts by examining existing research on the role of translation in media news production. An examination of this role leads inevitably to a critical view of the use of “translation” and the difficulties that Translation Studies encounters as a discipline in asserting and distributing broader definitions of the term in the context of media news production. In the specific context of news translation, an extension of definitions not o…
Handbook of Translation Studies
As a meaningful manifestation of how institutionalized the discipline has become, the new Handbook of Translation Studies is most welcome. The HTS aims at disseminating knowledge about translation and interpreting to a relatively broad audience: not only students who often adamantly prefer user-friendliness, researchers and lecturers in Translation Studies, Translation & Interpreting professionals; but also scholars, experts and professionals fro…
How language and (non-)translation impact on media newsrooms
In Translation Studies, research on media and translation is dominated by questions of audiovisual translation such as dubbing or subtitling. The larger field of the position of translation in the media in general, the awareness of the use of translation in newsrooms, is much less present in research (with the important exception of the Warwick project on ‘Translation in Global News’). Earlier research has shown that translation as such is hardly…
The Indicative Power of A Key Word System. A Quantitative Analysis of the Key Words in the Translation Studies Bibliography
Over the last decades, Translation Studies has explicitly tried to develop and regard itself as an interdiscipline. This evolution, as well as this self-esteem, has not only widened the focus of the field, it has also created a sometimes unclear eclecticism of topics, influences and methods. Characteristic of a still not too well-established and not always acknowledged discipline, research in Translation Studies has been looking for common intere…
