Translators
Translators play a leading role when it comes to international trade in book rights. Kafka in Arabic, Hamsun in German, Graham Greene in Polish – all unthinkable without them. Translators give life to world literature.
In a central location in Hall 5.0, the specialist centre and its adjoining cafeteria are open to translators and interpreters and their guests as a workplace, a contact and information venue – in close proximity to the International Centre and at the heart of world literature at the Book Fair!
Since 2003, the Translators Centre has been the port of call for translators, interpreters, publishers, editors and other trade visitors who make use of translation services.
A book display shows translations by translators accredited to the Translators Centre as an “Exhibition in Progress”, i.e. an exhibition that grows during the course of the Fair. The publications brought to this display also serve as documentation of the contributors’ work as translators.
