South-South Translations Program

Outcomes
Friday 3 October 2008

17 titles with 6 publishers from 5 countries were short-listed for the grant scheme as detailed in the table below. 3 titles were cancelled due to poor translation quality, copyright problems or other reasons. While the program was aiming at supporting translations directly from the original, the lack of translation capacity in the Arab world forced publishers to often make use of English as a bridge language. All translations into Arabic are subject to an independent quality evaluation comissioned by Next Page prior to being published.
