Summary/Abstract: After identifying seven dominant information history discourses, we verify that translation history can provide worthwhile contribution to all of them. The paper offers a list of research questions, generated by information history interest, which can be seen by translation historians as their special research problem. It is also interesting to reconsider the crossroads, research challenges and new contexts of translation history, using the approaches of Big History and Social Macroevolution. After reviewing the rough historiography of translation history, we explain why it is timely to extend the scope of translation history to every historical form of linguistic connections and meaning conversion.
