The article offers an overview of the development of translation history during the past decade. It focuses on recent debates, research areas and methodological avenues in translation history with special emphasis on interdisciplinarity. Driven by a move away from a Euro-centric view of translation, researchers have become interested in producing connected and comparative histories of translation. The dialogue with the general field of history has led to the adoption of new methods and forms of analysis, such as microhistory, histoire croisée, archival research, oral history and digital translation history, and to the birth of new areas of research such as the role of translation in conflict and war.

Grounded by the idea of language as lived experience, this collection assumes linguistic plurality to be a continuing human condition and offers a novel transnational and comparative perspective on it. The essays cover concepts and praxis in which linguistic plurality surfaces in the public sphere through institutional and individual practices.
