I was immediately very interested by one of the references, which extensively compares five different versions of Nitobe's book: the original (English) and 4 translations (in Spanish, French and Japanese). They study the overall texts as well as side-by-side passages in detail, and show how the seemingly innocuous translations are each tainted by the motives and environment of each translator and author. I'm always fond of translation studies and this one is captivating. English version here (the original is in Spanish... we'll have to trust the (apparently uncredited) translator on this one) http://www.erudit.org/revue/ttr/2010/v23/n2/1009160ar.html http://www.erudit.org/revue/ttr/2010/v23/n2/1009160ar.html
