An International Workshop for Emerging Translators
From 2021 to 2024, the National Museum of Taiwan Literature (NMTL) collaborated with the British Centre for Literary Translation (BCLT) to deliver a series of Taiwan literature translation workshops, nurturing a new generation of literary translators. In 2025, the NMTL is partnering once again with BCLT to launch, for the first time in Taiwan, A Symphony of Island and Literature: 2025 Workshop for Translating Taiwan Literature. This intensive and immersive training program is tailored for emerging translators who aspire to specialize in translating Taiwan literature into English. The program combines practical translation training with cultural engagement, including guided cultural tours, keynote lectures and forums, and visits to Indigenous communities’ literary and cultural heritage sites.
The workshop will feature internationally acclaimed translator Jeremy Tiang as mentor, joined by writers from Taiwan, senior translators, scholars and publishing representatives from the Czech Republic, Japan, Poland, South Korea, and UK and other countries. Through a rich program, the workshop aims to strengthen participants' skills in translating Taiwan literature, deepen their engagement with Taiwan’s literature, culture and languages, broaden their networks, explore professional development opportunities in literary translation, and foster cross-cultural dialogue.
