It's official: FELT is moving to Discord! After researching and talking to members, it's clear that Discord will be a better home for the community long-term. Members, keep an eye out for your invite link once the server goes live!
📣 The John Dryden Translation Competition 2024-2025 is now open, with prizes awarded for the best unpublished literary translations from any language into English. Sponsored by @BCLA_Official & @bcltuea 📚 Find out more: bcla.org/prizes-awards/… Deadline is 3 February 2025
Seriously considering moving FELT (@FELTTranslators) over from Slack to Discord now that Slack will be deleting content over a year old, especially now I've discovered you can transfer your archive over. Thoughts for or against very welcome!
To kick off the Society of Authors’ 2025 events calendar, and to celebrate the 60 anniversary of the Scott Moncrieff prize in the run-up to our annual Translation Prizes, we're launching a special French Week of events. societyofauthors.org/2025/01/08/soa…
Emerging translators! Don't miss your chance: Apply for the 2025 ALTA Emerging Translator Mentorship program by November 30! There are *18 mentorships* available next year to connect emerging translators with experienced translator mentors. More info here: bit.ly/3uy19XT
How do you translate dialect? We’ll explore this at @OxfordCCT event, Dialect in Translation, on 18 November (Monday), 1pm GMT. It’s online and free to attend! Join us and let’s look for answers together 📚✍️🎓 You can find more details and register here: occt.web.ox.ac.uk/event/discussi…

It's that time of the month again: our monthly catch-up in Slack! A great opportunity to share and find out what other FR–EN literary translators are working on 🗓️✍️👀.
Hope everyone attending @BristolTransla2 #BristolTranslates this week has had a brilliant time! We've already had a few new sign-ups by attendees and would love to welcome any more FR–EN translators keen to keep collaborating 🙌
Save the date!🗓️ 1st July 🕠5pm 💻 Online Maboula Soumahoro will deliver the @ifru_london Keynote at Bristol Translates 2024. In conversation with @RosSchwartz, Maboula explores how the act of translation is deeply bound up with her sense of identity. 🎟️tinyurl.com/4847uacs
@rolandglasser @M_Hutchison I didn't coin the phrase but I wrote a piece arguing for slow translation: atanet.org/resources/how-…
An important question for this #CeatlFriday: will #AI ever be able to translate literary works? David Diop, writer and professor at the University of Pau (France) thinks not. Read his article on #Counterpoint: ceatl.eu/wp-content/upl… @DDiop_ecrivain #EuropeanTranslators 1/2
I got to talk about Translation as Autobiography at the BU Translation Seminar, and now you can watch the whole thing. Writing and presenting this proved to be deeply meaningful, and I hope this will light the way for other translators out there 💞 bu.edu/geddes/events/…
Almost forgot to post this. Thanks @AntonHur ✨for jogging my memory. A WONDROUS resource for all literary translators. Click on the year you want to access the recordings. bu.edu/geddes/events/… Huge thanks to @BU_Tweets for making the recordings free and online! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
