Paper abstract:
Having a central scientific language remains crucial for advancing and globally sharing science. Nevertheless, maintaining one dominant language also creates barriers to accessing scientific careers and knowledge. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the study describes how, when, and why to make scientific literature more readily available in multiple languages through the practice of translation.
