Abstract: A variety of texts are translated to fulfil functions for political communication across languages, cultures, and\nideologies. For example, newspapers regularly provide quotes of statements by foreign politicians, without\nexplicitly indicating that these politicians were actually speaking in their own languages. Politicians react to\nstatements by other politicians as they were presented to them in translation. Political scientists and other\nexperts often debate the potential political consequences of (the translation of) a statement.
