This book is a compilation of opinions, experiences, and recommendations on translation practice, with a particular focus on literary translation and the process of preparing translations for publication. Edited by Gill Paul, it is based on discussions at a translation workshop held at the British Council in London in 2008, attended by translators, editors, and publishers from the UK and the US. The book begins by discussing the goals of a good translation, then focuses on how editors select translators, evaluate sample translations, and identify the right translator for each work. It also addresses translation contracts, text approval, translator credit, royalties, payment, and deadlines. Subsequent sections examine common problems and difficulties encountered during translation, the roles of stakeholders, and especially the pre-publication editing process. This document provides a practical perspective on the relationship between translators, authors, editors, and publishers, thereby helping learners and professionals better understand the process of translating and publishing a literary work.
