Summary

Chapter 6 addresses the complex, multifaceted relationship between translation and society in general, before discussing translation in the context of multilingual societies. It examines translation in connection with translanguaging in the contexts of superdiversity and metrolingualism, drawing on findings of the AHRC-funded project ‘Translation and Translanguaging: Investigating Linguistic and Cultural Transformations in Superdiverse Wards in Four UK Cities’, arguing that translation should be seen as part of assemblages that constitute the discursive and semiotic character of multilingual societies.
