Abstract
This chapter offers a summary of the work of professional translators as it relates to linguistic minority communities. It focuses specifically on the role translation plays for linguistic minorities in the context of a globalized economy. After first examining the impact of translation in shaping the dissemination of minority languages in general, it draws attention to the changing practices in professional translation as a result of globalization and increased technological automation. In conclusion, a case study is presented of the transformations that have marked the government of Canada’s Translation Bureau since the mid-1990s. The chapter illustrates that for members of linguistic minority communities, translation is intrinsically linked with language ideologies, language policies, power relations, language rights, and identity.
