We support dialogue between countries, nations, and individuals. We want Ukrainians and EU-citizens to get to know and understand each other a little bit better and believe that literature is key.
To bring more Ukrainian books to EU stores and provide Ukrainians with a more diverse selection of EU works, we have created Translation Grants. Translation grants make it easier for publishers to translate books. They do not cover all of your expenses, but assume some of them. You can be awarded up to EUR 5,000 and spend it on the translator's fee, design, marketing, and other things to make a book happen.
Follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to hear about the open call.
Translate whatever you believe in. You can translate fiction books: novels, poems and drama. You can translate non-fiction books: texts on culture and creative industries, education and youth work, media and journalism, and social entrepreneurship.
You have more than 50 languages to choose from. These are the official languages of the EU, and the languages of Ukrainian minorities. You can translate a book from one of them to Ukrainian, or a Ukrainian book to an EU-language. To make sure people with visual impairments have access to quality literature, publish an inclusive book in Braille.
We accept applications from publisher-translator duos. If you are an author, you can encourage your publishing house to apply. We support both young and notable publishing houses, but we will ask you to prove that you have enough experience to bring the project to life.
We want Ukraine’s national minorities to have the space and resources to share their culture. That is why we have created a dedicated open call to translate books from endangered languages into Ukrainian, and vice versa — from Ukrainian into endangered languages. We will cover all the costs.
