T – Translations

First things first: today is “Blogger Schenken Lesefreude” (bloggers give reading pleasure) day and I’m participating. You’ll find the giveaway below my blogpost. But first a few words about people I admire:

I thought I’d tell you something about translators today. Their names are always in the small print, implying they’re unimportant. On the surface, that might be true. After all, it’s the author who wrote the novel, right? Well, sort of. However, the influence on the novel (and its success or failure) in a different market depends a lot on the translator’s talent. By choosing the right words and putting them in a specific order, (s)he creates the atmosphere needed to carry the story through the new language. So, let us appreciate the hard work of these people. Do you know someone who translates texts?

Here’s the giveaway. Participating is really easy, and everyone who enters will get at least an eBook:
