Explore the hidden world of local translation policies in 19th-century Europe with “Translating in Town.” This insightful book from Bloomsbury Advances in Translation challenges the prevailing narrative of nationalism by focusing on administrative and cultural multilingualism within diverse European communities. Discover how cities like Barcelona, Vienna, and Cork navigated complex language situations, accommodating new democratic principles through translation. Spanning 1785-1914, this study highlights the conflicts and compromises between official and local languages, revealing the impact on citizens, both monolingual and multilingual. “Translating in Town” uncovers the subtle negotiations between monolingualism, multilingualism, and translation techniques, offering a fresh perspective on a fascinating era of European history. A must-read for those interested in translation studies, European history, and cultural linguistics.
