Community translation is a specialized domain within translation and interpreting studies that examines and facilitates language mediation activities undertaken by and for specific communities, typically addressing their linguistic and communicative needs. This academic concept investigates the processes, ethics, and socio-political implications of often non-commercial, volunteer-driven language services delivered to ensure access to essential information, services, and participation for community members, particularly those from linguistic or cultural minorities. Its significance lies in its role as a critical practice and research area focused on social justice, empowerment, and the democratic inclusion of marginalized populations through localized and accessible communication.
