La Cámara de Comercio de Barcelona contra los corredores intérpretes de buques: un episodio de historia de la (política de) traducción en España

The Spanish Commercial Code introduced the figure of ship interpreter brokers. Based on research carried out in the archives of the Official State Gazette, the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce and the Congress of Deputies, this article traces the legislative history of the body, characterizes the "jurisdictional struggle" that was unleashed between the ship interpreter brokers and the other professionals who carried out linguistic mediation activities in Spanish ports, and analyses the opposition exercised by the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce against the successive attempts to reorganize the body in the first four decades of the 20th century.
