“…Indeed, Spanish is recognized as the official national language in almost the totality of the countries composing Latin America, which renders this continent at a first and superficial sight homogeneous (Gálvez-Nieto et al, 2017;Varela et al, 2009). Indeed, it is wellknown the historical kaleidoscopic presence of a wide variety native languages that have forged and contextualized the official national one in each region of Latin America (Bastin, 2017). Secondly, also the outcomes of relevant scientific works, such as the GLOBE project by Hofstede (1980Hofstede ( , 2001 and the study by Davis (1969), have reinforced this view of pinpointing Latin America as one homogeneous bloc.…”

Introduction. Cross-cultural research is fundamental for the development and validation of work and organizational theories and to guide evidence-based practices around the globe. Although organizational climate is one of the most investigated higher-level constructs in organizational psychology, there is a lack of research analysing the invariance of measurements across national cultures in Latin America. This prevents scientists and practitioners from having a deeper understanding of this variable across the different countries and cultures composing this continent.Objectives. This study aims at examining the measurement invariance of the Encuesta de Clima Organizacional scale in its VI version (ECO VI) in Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, and Dominican Republic. Method. Data were gathered from 38 companies operating in the manufacturing sector based in the four abovementioned countries and the sample sizes were as follows: Colombia was represented by 1007 employees, Costa Rica by 1090 employees, Panama by 372 employees, and Dominican Republic by 213. Measurement invariance was examined by testing the configural, metric, scalar, and structural models of invariance. Results. The results supported with empirical evidence that the ECO VI scale is characterized by measurement invariance. More precisely, 6 of its 8 dimensions are unbiasedly interpreted and can be considered for making meaningful comparisons across the considered national cultures, while the outputs deriving from the dimensions of “resources availability” and “interpersonal relationships” should be treated with more caution. Indeed, for such dimensions support for only configural and metric invariance wasfound. Conclusions. The main contribution of the present study was to provide evidence about the measurement invariance of the ECO VI scale. Thus, providing the community of scientists and practitioners operating in different Latin American countries with a molar organizational climate scale that can be used for conducting cross-cultural research. Hence, it is now possible to have a deeper understanding of how theories and practices involving the organizational climate for well-being can be better applied across the countries and cultures composing this continent.

“…For example, transdisciplinary research from public health, anthropology, cultural studies, and many other fields have elucidated the complexity to describe acculturation in universal terms and the need for a more nuanced approach and poetics that reflects both origin and temporality. (6,7) In other words, there is a need to describe immigrant and diasporic communities using unique characteristics rather than assessing all immigrants or foreign nationals as a singular entity. Therefore, while a validated way to measure acculturation for immigrants in the United States, English proficiency may no longer be the best proxy measurement available for measuring acculturation.…”

“…It is precisely this -what type of documents are chosen, what archives historians retrieve data from, and what sources they use -that will constitute one of the changes that are essential for the construction not only of the other histories, the histories of others, but also of the other histories of translation. That is to say, the translation of the traditional histories of translation from less Eurocentric and masculine points of view: a fascinating challenge for historians, for translators of historical texts and for translation historians (Bandia, 2006a(Bandia, , 2015Bastin, 2006Bastin, , 2010Bastin, , 2017Cheung, 2009Cheung, , 2012Nama, 1990Nama, , 1993Ngugi wa Thiong'o, 2012). Poniatowska is one of the most important representatives of a type of literature that aims to rewrite the official history based on the oral histories of its protagonists.…”

La Noche de Tlatelolco: Testimonios de Historia Oral is a text full of voices which had been silenced. In addition, it is a hybrid text because it combines photojournalism, the literal words of many interviewees, witness accounts of survivors and political prisoners, and extracts from documentary sources like political speeches and hospital reports. It is an example of histories narrated orally by those who did not previously have a voice. They are oral translations of the real, intralinguistic and interlinguistic rewritings exemplifying what Bastin (2006: 121) calls "oraliture", a type of textual construction of great importance when changing the way of looking at the history of translation. Since the studies published by Paul Bandia, Jeremy Munday or Georges Bastin, translation theory has been pressing for analysis of translations which take into account the concepts of critical historiography. The aim should be to achieve translations which overcome the traditional Eurocentrism and universalism that have allowed Westerners to remain in the comfort zone, a zone which offered only the vision of the conquerors and not that of the conquered. The translator cannot ignore all these changes and must begin to construct new venues in historical text research and its translation which put an end once and for all to that Eurocentric vision presented to us as the only true one.
