[I apologize in advance if this message is somehow inappropriate

Hello all,
I know this is a long shot, but the Internet community has helped
me out before, so why not try it this time ?
My sister studies Spanish language and literature here in Utrecht,
majoring in translation a.o. She is also interested in arts and
tried to think of a subject for her thesis that would combine the
two; museum publications are one of the potential subjects. Think
of something like: the problems in translating catalogues or other
publications. Lots of possibilities -I think- since there's likely
to be an amount of jargon involved, plus cultural and historical
aspects. Translation problems all over the place.
The problem is: a language is usually not a search criterium, i.e.
I can not search for books or articles written in language X. Any
search for bilingual material is extremely time-consuming this way.
Now my question : does any of you people out there have any clues,
references with respect to this topic ? The ideal response would be
a list of museum publications available in both Dutch and Spanish,
but that's something I can only hope for. Other references are just
as welcome though, e.g. on relations between translation and art.
Thanks in advance,
Sandor
