Translation Opportunities for American Library Association Publications
Translation Opportunities for American Library Association Publications
The American Library Association welcomes and encourages requests for translations of ALA publications.
Proposals sponsored by national library associations or by commercial publishers that have the support of national library associations offer an exceptional opportunity for rapid authorization.
Factors that contribute to the success of an ALA translation include the following:
- Established need;
- Competence of the translator;
- Translator’s knowledge of librarianship;
- Ability of the publisher to make the translation available internationally at a reasonable price.
A small sampling of titles published by ALA Editions that represent possible translation opportunities include:
