Abstract
This essay shows how and why the issue of translation has been considered important to postcolonial studies. It goes on to account for this connection within a more general understanding of language and translation. Postcolonial translation questions are an important area of a larger relief map of translation problems in general. Finally, the essay addresses a singular colonial translation that challenges some of the limits of the general postcolonial understanding of translation as a vehicle of domination through seduction.
