Ágnes Somló Abstract Nowadays the position of translators has changed significantly in a world of increasing cultural influences and effects of IT. We are gradually translated into a new person, obtaining a kind of multicultural identity, much in the way Salman Rushdie has stated several times, among others in his novel Shame, when describing himself as a " translated man ". The metaphor can also be used in the case of translators and translation proper so the two – translation as a metaphor and translation proper – will partly overlap in this paper. We will attempt to find some explanations for changes generated by migration and try to detect some of their roots in the information revolution defined by technology (IT). Thus I am attracted by the signs of a changing concept of translation, and would make an effort to capture the changing role of translator/interpreter in an increasingly multicultural world. This paper will rely on a train of thought evoked by Salman Rushdie's writings as well as some interviews with him. By elaborating on the state of the individual in Rushdie's system we will examine it and compare it to a more or less similar, albeit more generalized, description of peripheral systems in Even-Zohar's theory. Then continue by touching upon the connection between migration and translation, differentiating different phases as well as periods in the process. And finally, we will look at some ideas in a thought-provoking article by Harish Trivedi dealing with the rudimentary difference between translating culture and cultural translation, and will try to connect them both to previous thoughts concerning changes in the position of translators today. During the past decades our position as translators seems to have drastically changed due to an increasing amount of cultural influences to which we are now exposed as well as the ever accelerating attack of the mass of information worldwide. However, looking at translation from a historical point of view we see that in a way it has always strived to fulfil the task of transmission by crossing borders in nearly all fields of life, whether cultural,
