In the past ten years the problems of translation in multilingual environments have attracted increasing attention both inside and outside Europe. The European Community has been the source and the sponsor of many such debates and publications, because of its ambitious project to enable Europe to speak with one voice but in many languages. The perception of the interrelatedness of the challenges of multilingual translation and the complex field of multilingualism has increased among European translators. This book is designed to take stock of the work under way and of the on-going debate in the profession.
