Summary
Chapter 7 considers languages that are less translated from and into than other languages. Focusing on institutional translation, it examines the translation regimes of the United Nations, the European Union, selected multilingual states and selected multilingual regions within or without multilingual states, focusing, in the first case, on Spanish with respect to English and French in the UN system; in the second case, on translation in several EU institutions; in the third case, on the asymmetric interpreting regime of the Spanish Senate, in which Spain's minority languages may be translated from but not into, and there is no translation at all between minority languages; and, in the fourth case, on multilingual regions like Catalonia and South Tyrol.
