to a special issue with a selection of papers presented at the first Transius conference, held in June 2015 at the University of Geneva. Whereas legal translation was, for a long time, viewed mainly as a way to enable communication between neatly delimited legal orders, the focus of attention has moved to the production of multilingual law in a legal world characterised by multiple interrelated levels.

Legal translation is approached here as a specialised activity requiring expertise and involving choice in various highly specific institutional contexts.
