World Directory of Children’s Book Translators

The World Directory of Children’s Book Translators was launched in partnership with UNESCO’s Index Translationum. A database listing professional translators specializing in children’s literature, the Directory is a key point of contact between publishers and translation specialists. As well as the most frequently requested languages, the Directory also has ample listings of the so-called minority languages, with 55 languages currently represented. It is therefore a key tool for both professionals entering the market and for those seeking reliable high-quality translation products.

Available to anyone looking for translators, the World Directory is accessed via a user-friendly login.
The Directory has several search keywords: translator name; country of residence; literary genre; source language; target language; mother tongue. Exhibitor publishers of the Bologna Children’s Book Fair can consult the Directory using their access code.
