“…Englannin käytön yleisyydestä huolimatta -tai tästä johtuen -siihen suhtaudutaan maahanmuuttoa ja viestintää käsittelevässä tutkimuksessa varauksella (esim. Määttä 2020). Suomen tai ruotsin kielen oppimisella on kotoutumisessa keskeinen asema (Tarnanen ym.…”

The article examines multilingual communication practices aimed at informing Finland’s foreign language speaking inhabitants on municipal elections and decision-making in the regional context of Joensuu. Our focus is on the availability and accessibility of relevant multilingual information and the potential of accessible information in developing a sense of democratic participation and critical autonomy among the immigrant population. The research is based on seven thematic interviews conducted after the 2021 municipal elections. All interviewees have experience in enabling the democratic participation of multilingual residents in Joensuu through their roles in civil service, politics, or local organizations. Poor accessibility of information has been identified as a reason for multilingual population’s low voting rates in previous research. The interview data reveal in detail what kinds of deficiencies can be identified across the components of usability, understandability, and social accessibility. The results also give insights into good practices and possible remedies.

“…Kirjallinen viestintä on keskustelua suoraviivaisempaa ja toimii huonosti, jos vastaanottaja ei ymmärrä siitä kuin osan, tai jos viestin oikeellisuus kärsii tilanteessa, jossa se on olennaisen tärkeää (ks. Määttä 2020). Tällöin tarvitaan täsmällisempiä kielellisiä työkaluja.…”

“…There are many insightful conceptual or theoretical papers that have discussed in detail the implications of the increasing use of ELF for translation theory, practice, and pedagogy (Hewson, 2009(Hewson, , 2013Taviano, 2013Taviano, , 2018, interpreter and translator training (P. L. Chang, 2017;Donovan, 2011;Giczela-Pastwa, 2021;Murphy, 2013;Stewart, 2013Stewart, , 2021Tang, 2017), the European Union's language and translation policies (Gazzola & Grin, 2013;Leal, 2013Leal, , 2016Leal, , 2021, the mediation and translation of scientific knowledge and academic discourse (Bendazzoli, 2016;Bennett, 2007Bennett, , 2008Bennett, , 2013aBennett, , 2013bFan, 2017;Montgomery, 2009), and translation in international sports events (Keown, 2017). Additionally, text-or corpusbased studies have thoroughly investigated the role and function of ELF in interpretermediated communication contexts (Guido, 2013;Määttä, 2015Määttä, , 2017Määttä, , 2020Marszalenko, 2015;Taviano, 2021), legal translation (Cabrita, 2012), fansubbing practices (Duggan & Dahl, 2019;Lee, 2020), editing and translating written ELF (Albl-Mikasa et al, 2017) and changing textual norms and communicative conventions through translation (Baumgarten, 2005;Baumgarten et al, 2004;Becher et al, 2009;House, 2011…”

The unprecedented spread of English as a lingua franca (ELF) and the growing dominance of English in international communication have had increasingly important implications for the translation and interpreting (T&I) industry. Despite the role and importance of ELF for T&I, this issue has attracted relatively little attention within the field of translation studies (TS). This literature review paper aimed to present a synthesis of participant-based research that focuses on the implications and repercussions of ELF for T&I. To this end, five databases were systematically searched for relevant research that was published in English or Turkish in peer-reviewed journals or edited collections or produced as a master’s or doctoral thesis between 2000 and 2021. As a result of the search, seven studies were included in the review based on the predetermined criteria for inclusion. Surprisingly, the search yielded no research written by Turkish scholars on the issue, except for a few brief mentions. An outstanding common thread that runs through all the studies reviewed here and other relevant studies is the call for an ELF-oriented pedagogy to increase trainee translators’ and interpreters’ awareness and knowledge of ELF and prepare them for the changing working conditions, needs, and demands of the professional market. As repeatedly emphasised in earlier studies, this literature review paper has once again reaffirmed the need for further research, particularly empirical research, on the implications of ELF for all forms and aspects of T&I.
