Description

For museums, galleries and heritage sites looking to engage with foreign-language visitors, translation is crucial. Providing texts in multiple languages enables visitors to understand what they see displayed.

This book addresses the need for practical training in translation for these contexts, focusing on the translation of interpretive and information texts in museum settings. It covers key concepts in both museums and translation, as well as three broad groupings of texts: fixed labels and wall panels, leaflets and other portable resources, and catalogues and guides.

Suitable for students and practitioners alike, this book is designed to be used individually or in class-based learning settings. It aims to place translation centre stage in museum, gallery, and heritage practice, providing a valuable resource for those looking to improve their skills in this area.
