Are translators artists or technicians? Literary translators are hidden conduits of emotion, but the majority of professional translators work on more mundane material — instruction manuals, street signs, nutritional labels — that form the infrastructure of globalization. Intangible Heritage, a lavishly illustrated (and heavily annotated) volume on the Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, offers an unusual hybrid of the creative and the technical: the translator as a designer.
