Abstract

In this artcle, the author investigates institutional translations. Large institutions sometimes develop translating cultures of their own. This might happen because guidelines are ditributed to all translators working for the institution, but it can also be a development that grows over a period of years out of shared experience. Not much has been written about this phenomenon, except for some limited studies. A key question for the author is whether the guidelines issued by institutions affect actual translational practice in any uniform way?
