AbstractWith the globalization of data, online social media plays an active role in spreading information and classifying people, and thinking about how to break the solidification of algorithms becomes critical. Current algorithmic research in the social media space often focuses on a single service or language, mainly due to the lack of a way to connect the different bubbles. The panel speakers described their various research activities in which they presented different perspectives on how to break the bubble. This article provides a summary of this interactive panel.

Migration has created exceptionally diverse communities in many professional soccer leagues. These diverse communities then interact with global audiences, yet the key challenge of communication across languages has not previously been the focus of academic attention. This study investigated Twitter translation practice in this highly commercial industry, drawing from questionnaire and interview data from the perspective of translation providers, figures in the soccer industry, and migrant player and club tweets. The findings reveal tensions between global and local identities as soccer players, soccer clubs, and governing organizations manage identity performance and economic potential across language barriers on social media. These tensions foster debate about cross-language communication on social media in the soccer industry and extend existing work on social media and translation, in particular with regard to professional practice, fluency, and the visibility of translation and translators in this unusual professional setting.
