Metatranslation and meat translation

There are some fine references – in semiotics (meta-analysis), translation research (metadata about translation), and translation practice (rolling up all the content of a body of work into some new original [translated] piece) – to metatranslation.

    No such program yet.  GV doesn’t really have one either; just
