Grants for translators of Swedish literature
The second application round for grants to translators of Swedish literature has been finalized. It reflects the translators’ interest in visiting the book fair in Gothenburg, a highlight in the Swedish publishing world, and authors’ presentations of their works. Other activities that we are supporting this time include work-related travels to conferences, festivals, and residencies.
In this round, we also subsidize translators’ attendance at two upcoming workshops. Twelve German translators will participate in a workshop and an event together with teachers of the Swedish language in the German-speaking part of Europe, and with German publishing houses.
At the end of August, a group of Japanese translators will meet in Stockholm to gain new knowledge about Swedish literature and to discuss literary translation in joint workshops.
