Translation Grant Programme, Litrix.de

The Goethe-Institut’s translation grant programme “Translations of German books into other languages” provides support to non-German publishers with the publication of translated German titles.

The programme has been running for nearly 35 years, during which time we have given financial support to the publication of around 5000 books in 45 languages.
Translation Grant Programme of the Goethe-Institut

Litrix.de presents new publications from the German book market.
These titles can be found on our portal along with

• book reviews,
• excerpts,
• detailed information about the authors and publishers

in German, English and in an alternating focus language. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for interested readers, publishers and translators abroad to gain an immediate impression of the state of contemporary German literature.

What makes Litrix.de unique: we offer a Translation Promotion Program which alternates the focus language biennially

2012-14 Russian (current focus)
2009-11 Spanish
2007-08 Portuguese
2005-06 Chinese
2004 Arabic

Here you will find a list of books that have been published within the framework of our translation grant program.

Apart from offering information and translation grants, Litrix.de also organizes and runs further-training courses for literary translators, and helps forge networks between the German and international publishing scene.
