British Museum under fire for using translator's work without compensation or credit.

The British Museum has apologized for using writer and translator Yilin Wang's work without permission, pay or acknowledgment in its "China's hidden century" exhibition. The museum has removed her translations from the exhibition, offered payment for the duration they were up, and for the translations that remain in a printed catalog. Wang criticized the statement for sounding passive and neglecting to address the larger questions this incident has raised about ethics in academia and the frequent erasure of translators, especially women and people of color.
