International Translation Day is an opportunity for translators,
students, publishers, booksellers, librarians, bloggers and reviewers
to gather and debate significant issues and developments within the
sector, to discuss challenges, and to celebrate success. It is also an
opportunity to reflect on and consolidate progress.
At ITD you begin to get a sense of a momentum gathering across the
literary translation sector; it is a distinctly collaborative space
where determined and creative professionals who are passionate about
the art of literary translation gather to push ideas and initiatives
forward.
We´ve already seen exciting new projects - from translator residencies
to dedicated mentoring schemes - emerging as a result of ITD
discussions, and hope to see many more.
International Translation Day partners are delighted to host this
year´s symposium as part of the Notes & Letters festival at Kings
Place. We look forward to seeing you there!
