A translation of formulas in a language L 1 to formulas in a language L 2 is a mapping which preserves the parameters and commutes with the substitution prefix, the propositional connectives and the quantifiers. Every translation generates a corresponding transformation of theories in L 1 to theories in L 2 . We formulate the equiconsistency problem for such transformations and propose a variant of its solution. First, for a transformation F we find the least theory A ( F ) in L 1 such that its inclusion in a theory T (in L 1 ) guarantees equiconsistency of F and F ( T ), then we propose axiomatizations of A ( F ) for some F 's.
