In celebration of 2020 European Day of Languages, Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation is teaming up with EUNIC (the EU National Institutes for Culture), Alliance Française Dublin, Ambassade de France, Goethe Institut Irland, Instituto Cervantes Austrian Embassy Dublin & Istituto Italiano di Cultura to discuss how some of Ireland's greatest literature is made available in different languages.

We are bringing together the four translators who translated Edna O'Brien's most recent novel, Girl , into French, German, Italian, and Spanish, to discuss the challenges associated with translating this novel.

We will also hear from Edna O'Brien herself, who will tell us what it is like for her to see her work translated.

This event is online. It is free to attend, and everyone is welcome. Please register at the link here.
