Happy #InternationalTranslationDay to all #translators everywhere. You make this weird world legible.

It’s the final day to submit your translations to us—and a happy International Translation Day celebrating all the wonderful reading to come 🧿

Translators are often overlooked, and I know I was guilty of not giving them much thought. It was when I started reading books translated by Anton Hur that I truly started to appreciate their work. Without them, I wouldn't have found some of my favourite books.

Happy #InternationalTranslationDay from us at ALTA! Whether you're a translator yourself, advocate for translators, read translations, publish them, teach them, study them, or you just think they're great: thank you for being a part of this community, today and every day.
