Translations into Georgian since 1991
Facts, Trends, Recommendations
The research presented in the current brochure "Translations into Georgian since 1991" focuses on the state of book translations from foreign languages
into Georgian over the last 20 years. To provide the discussions on translations into Georgian with a context and a perspective, the Book Platform project and the Georgian Publishers and
Booksellers Association commissioned a profound study on translations to two experts Ana Kopaliani and Salome Benidze that have based their work on primary statistical data and interviews with
translators and publishers. The brochure also includes two commentaries on the research results by Georgian professionals in the book/translation sector. Importantly, the last chapter of the text
lists six key recommendations that offer a perspective for the future to all actors in the book and translation sector in Georgia.
This brochure is for everyone involved in making the history, theory and practice of contemporary Georgian translations: for the public policy-makers and for other organizations that (should) create the conditions for a flourishing translation culture; for publishers, translators and editors to assist them in making informed choices and putting their work into a larger perspective; for international publishers and organizations with an interest in Georgian publishing; for historians of culture interested in the social, economic and cultural conditions in which culture is being produced.
The texts in this brochure may provide the basis and are an invitation for a wide public and professional debate on the current state and the future prospects of translations into Georgian.
The publication consists of the following chapters:
