Translating for a museum does not simply mean transferring words from one language to another; it consists of carrying content from one cultural context to another while keeping in mind the institution\u2019s voice, its educational mission and the expectations of its visitors. It is, therefore, an exercise in cultural mediation that must address not only what is being said, but also how, for whom and for what purpose it is being communicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this reason, before tackling any material, it is essential to establish clear linguistic criteria<\/strong> that are consistent with the standards and conventions of each target language. This is a particularly important point because a solution that works in Spanish will not necessarily work in English, French or Catalan: each language structures discourse differently, organises information according to its own logic and endows sentences with their own particular rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n
