Abstract
Translation norms are conventionally viewed as forces that regulate translatorial behavior. Yet little is known
about how norms are validated, challenged or broken by human agents. This quasi-experimental study of Chinese institutional
translation proposes a risk-management model that explains how norms are jointly negotiated among the agents embedded in different
institutional milieus. It is argued that norms are validated by the translators who strategically manage and weigh various
translation risks pertaining to both the start and target cultures.
