This books presents an interdisciplinary study of the multilingual nature of EU legislation and its interpretation by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The book pursues three main objectives. The first is to elaborate on the role that translation has in the development and application of EU legislation. The second is to examine how the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) solves problems of divergences between different language versions, namely, how the CJEU applies methods of interpretation to reconcile diverging texts. Thirdly, to assess whether divergences hinge on a translation problem or whether they are inevitable differences between different language versions. To address the second and third objectives, the work adopts a mixed methodology that combines both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Data is triangulated in order to study which methods of interpretation are used for which problems, the types of legal instruments where divergences appear, and to evaluate the causes for linguistic divergences. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers in translation studies, and EU law. It will also provide a valuable resource for legal translators.
