Özet

This study explains building a translation policy for the successful operation of the translation process in arts management and the positive impact this policy can have on institutions' recognition and prestige. It argues that establishing order in the translation process will strengthen communication, enabling a wider audience to be reached. While there are not many academic studies on the role of translation in arts management, existing studies have focused on specific cases. This study aims to provide a comprehensive perspective. The materials undergoing the translation process in arts management are described. It is emphasized that the translation process itself changes depending on the characteristics of these materials. The status of the translator as an artist in literary translation is discussed. The positive impact of incorporating translation theories into translation policies is argued via case studies. It is outlined how Türkiye's multilingual and multicultural structure should be addressed in translation policy. The concepts of accessibility, customization, and diversity are correlated to the translation process, and potential improvements within these frameworks are discussed. The importance of institutions' presence in online media for international recognition is emphasized while underlining the importance of implementing the translation policy in online media as well. The websites of various world-renowned museums were examined in terms of language access, and the services they offer in terms of translation were discussed. The language services offered on the websites of some renowned museums in Türkiye were also comparatively criticized. The steps to be taken when building a written translation policy, the concepts to be considered, and the current situation are brought together to discuss the place of translation in arts management from a broad perspective and to reveal the positive impact of this policy on international recognition.
