This article introduces the issue Translation as a Resistance and Subversion of the journal Belas infiéis, starting from a dialogue around translation as a political action to correct linguistic and socio-cultural asymmetries, built by centuries of domination of one community over another. These unequal relations between languages form the backdrop to a broader discussion that puts linguistic rights into perspective, suggesting a reflection on the rights of translation: the right to be translated, the right to translate and the right to translate. As a process of textual reallocation from which other meanings emerge, translation provides new spaces for subjectivation and dialogue. It illustrates and manifests contact, confrontation and conflict - of languages, speakers, norms and perceptions of the world. Thus, new engagements emerge from the circulation of voices that translation provides. On a supranational scale, it establishes itself sometimes as a resource for the visibility of languages and texts made historically invisible, promoting linguistic diversity, sometimes as an agent of linguistic and cultural homogenization. Therefore, the discussion is extended to the ethics of translation, an inseparable question from the political issues it raises, since these are relationships that are at stake.
