Abstract

International NGOs (INGOs) are important agents in delivering the UN’s sustainable development agenda, but their linguistic practices have received little attention in the field of language policy and planning. This article aims to add new insights to the field by exploring the link between INGOs’ organisational value of inclusiveness and their institutional approaches to translation. It does so through a case study of Oxfam GB’s and Tearfund’s translation policy documents. The analysis reveals that the policy documents focus on written translation into a handful of lingua francas. In other words, they largely overlook the need for interpreting and translation from and into local languages. In addition, the policy documents do not make any overt links between principles of (linguistic) inclusiveness and the need for translation. The article summarises the advantages and drawbacks of creating a translation policy, and provides guidance on linking translation policy more overtly to values of inclusiveness.

国际非政府组织(ingo)是实现联合国可持续发展议程的重要机构,但其语言实践在语言政策和规划领域却很少受到关注。本文旨在通过探讨国际非政府组织的包容性组织价值与其翻译的制度方法之间的联系,为这一领域增添新的见解。本文以乐施会、英国政府和眼泪基金的翻译政策文件为例进行分析。分析表明,政策文件的重点是将其书面翻译成少数几种通用语。换句话说,他们在很大程度上忽视了对当地语言的口译和翻译的需求。此外,政策文件并没有在(语言)包容性原则和翻译需求之间做出任何公开的联系。本文总结了制定翻译政策的利弊,并对如何将翻译政策与包容性价值观更公开地联系起来提供了指导。
