Introduction
This article serves both as a critical reflection of theoretical models of trust across varied settings and modalities of translation and as an editorial introduction to the special issue of Translation Studies on trust in intercultural mediation. It examines how trust is (de)constructed, contested, and instrumentalised amid shifting power relations, identity politics, and growing anxieties about automation. This article argues that trust works b…
Trends and future burden of other musculoskeletal diseases in China (1990–2041)
The burden of OMSDs in China continues to rise, particularly among women and the elderly. Although the current burden is at a mid-range level among G20 nations, population aging will exacerbate future challenges. To address this, advocating for healthy lifestyles, strengthening health education, and optimizing healthcare strategies are essential
Translating intercultural interactions in the Netflix-branded film American Factory
The Netflix-branded film American Factory glaringly illustrates China’s and the United States’s contrasting views on capitalism, propaganda, and labour rights. The film directors have argued that the entangling of clashing civilisations that permeates numerous layers of the documentary is delivered in a subtle and nuanced manner. However, the English and Chinese subtitles of the multilingual film’s bilingual dialogue are found to frequently, and …
Feeling foreign
Contributions to translation reception often examine the readers’ responses to binary translation solutions (e.g. foreignisation and domestication). Scant attention has been paid to the ethical causes of readers’ acceptance of translated foreignness. This quasi-experimental study attempts to illustrate how a heterogeneous readership engages with varying degrees of translator intervention to handle foreignness. It offers insights into the ways in …
Using computerised comparative judgement to assess translation
Translation assessment represents a productive line of research in Translation Studies. An array of methods has been trialled to assess translation quality, ranging from intuitive assessment to error analysis and from rubric scoring to item-based assessment. In this article, we introduce a lesser-known approach to translation assessment called comparative judgement . Rooted in psychophysical analysis, comparative judgement grounds itself on the a…

The potential risks of standardising China’s translated foreign affairs discourse
For Westerners who have only rudimentary Chinese proficiency, daily life in China can be filled with confusing phrases. Bewildering English public signs such as 'slip and fall down carefully' in a restroom with wet floors and 'slobber-in chicken' in a local restaurant's menu sound awkward to Western ears. The laughter they elicit can be humiliating to Chinese people and generally hurt national pride. This has led to a growing zeal at government l…

How are translation norms negotiated
Translation norms are conventionally viewed as forces that regulate translatorial behavior. Yet little is known about how norms are validated, challenged or broken by human agents. This quasi-experimental study of Chinese institutional translation proposes a risk-management model that explains how norms are jointly negotiated among the agents embedded in different institutional milieus. It is argued that norms are validated by the translators who…
Constructive ambiguity and risk management in bilingual foreign-affairs texts. The case of “One China”
Constructive ambiguity occurs when a text is construed in different ways by different people and those people nevertheless agree on the text. Its use in foreign affairs can enable major issues to remain unresolved over long periods. One instance is the series of “One China” communiqués in which the United States and the People’s Republic of China have appeared to agree on the sovereignty of Taiwan. An important feature of this particular ambiguit…
Are High-Performance Human Resource Practices In Organizations Creative or Noncreative
Researchers have found that high-performance human resource practices (HPHRP) are positively related to good firm performance and sustainable competitive advantage; however, there is not substantial evidence about their effect on individual creativity. We examined the relationship between HPHRP and individual creativity with a sample of 466 employees of high-tech industries in China. Findings showed that HPHRP had an inverse U-shaped relationship…
Creative Self-efficacy Mediates the Relationship Between Knowledge Sharing and Employee Innovation
We empirically explored how creative self-efficacy acts as a mediator in the relationship between knowledge sharing and employee innovation and examined the moderating effects of job satisfaction on this relationship. Matched supervisor–subordinate pairs ( N = 274) completed a survey. First, subordinates completed measures of their knowledge sharing, creative self-efficacy, and innovation. Then, the supervisors of these employees assessed their s…
Employees' Psychological Ownership and Self-Efficacy as Mediators Between Performance Appraisal Purpose and Proactive Behavior
We analyzed the impact of performance appraisal purpose on employees' proactive behavior, and explored the roles of psychological ownership and self-efficacy as mediators in this relationship. We conducted a survey with 512 employees of enterprises in 4 cities in China. The results of analysis of the data collected showed that an evaluative performance appraisal had a negative influence on the employees' proactive behavior whereas a developmental…
Job Satisfaction as a Mediator in the Relationship Between Performance Appraisal and Voice Behavior
We explored the mediating effect of job satisfaction in the relationship between employees' performance appraisal and their voice behavior. A questionnaire was administered to 864 employees at enterprises representing high-tech industrial clusters from 5 cities in China. Developmental performance appraisal was found to have a more positive influence on employees' voice behavior than evaluative performance appraisal did. Compared with prohibitive …
