This essay addresses a work that might fruitfully be approached as an international (auto)biography, the life narrative of Lili Elbe (published 1931), a major work in the history of gender variance. Using the versions of the narrative in a range of languages in the recently constructed, free-to-view Lili Elbe Digital Archive, this essay considers the many modalities of translation and transgression which comprise any effort to transition across linguistic, cultural, corporeal, epistemic, and generic boundaries. A concern with how bodies of knowledge as well as corporeal bodies are codified and circulated is fundamental not just to Translation Studies but to transgender studies and to the digital humanities as well, making these fields integral to any theoretical understanding of translation as such. It is argued not just that transgender should be understood as a mode of translation, but that translating transgender across languages, historical eras, and media provides an exemplary instance of, and a model for, the broader field of Translation Studies.

Columbiads, epic poems written in a range of European languages (French, English, German) between 1753 and 1798 and dealing with the encounter between Columbus and native American peoples, address in a variety of ways the linguistic barriers it threw up. Often, interest in the languages of the indigenous peoples goes hand in hand with respect for their cultures. Whereas some authors minimize the language gap in order to promote an imperialist or missionary agenda, in others it is foregrounded as a manifestation of cultural alterity. The figure of a translator is introduced to personify the desire to venture into a linguistically and culturally different world, and its danger. One example, the Columbona of the Swiss-German author Johann Jacob Bodmer, 1753, goes so far as to depict European sailors and native Americans engaging together in the adventure of language learning in order to share each other’s knowledge and view of life.
《哥伦布》是1753年至1798年间用多种欧洲语言（法语、英语、德语）创作的史诗，讲述了哥伦布与美洲原住民之间的相遇，以各种方式解决了它所带来的语言障碍。对土著人民语言的兴趣往往与对其文化的尊重密不可分。一些作者为了促进帝国主义或传教士的议程而尽量缩小语言差距，而另一些作者则认为这是文化冲突的表现。译者的形象被引入是为了将冒险进入一个语言和文化不同的世界的愿望及其危险人格化。例如，瑞士-德国作家约翰·雅各布·博德默（Johann Jacob Bodmer）1753年的《哥伦布号》（Columbona），甚至描绘了欧洲水手和美洲原住民一起参与语言学习的冒险，以分享彼此的知识和生活观。

Here are published for the first time selections from William Popple’s Horatian Epistles, part of the complete imitations of Horace he carried out in the 1750s, but which, with the exception of only two poems, have not until very recently been printed. Popple writes under the strong influence of his admired Alexander Pope, and the majority of Pope’s Horatian imitations had been epistles. Popple’s plan committed him to completeness, so as well as the rest he imitated the five epistles imitated by Pope, making comparisons inevitable. Of the epistles in this selection, both writers imitated 1.1 and 1.7. The others included here are 1.16, 1.17, 1.19, 1.20, and 2.2.
