Run by the British Council Film and Literature Department in conjunction with the British Centre for Literary Translation.
In addition to a vast array of information relevant to translators the world over, such as listings of conferences, prizes, publications and key organisations we have commissioned lots of new material relevant to translators and those working in the realm of literature and language education and Reader Development.
You can read transcripts of a unique conference on Reader Development hosted by the British Council and the Spanish Ministry of Culture, as well as following the development of exciting new work by some of the best new translators who attended the British Centre for Literary Translation Summer School at Girton College in July 2003. Join in our translation discussion list and interact with a global community of translators, all eager to discuss, advise and animate dialogue around and through translation.
