A translation can be deployed as an explicit intervention against state ideology

Evidence

The Hebrew translation (Qehiliot madumaynot) came out under the auspices of the Open University of Israel, and was intended as a critical intervention against prevailing Zionist-Likudist orthodoxy. It included an introduction by Azmi Bishara, the foremost Palestinian Israeli politician, and a scholar of Marx and Hegel who completed his PhD at the University of Jena when the DDR state still existed. — Benedict Anderson, Imagined Communities, 813
