The aim of SZBA’s translation fund is to contribute to increasing the number of Arabic books that are translated, published and distributed abroad. Funding is available for translation of all literary and children’s titles that have won the Sheikh Zayed Book Award.
Funding will prioritize three languages; French, English and German. The translation shall normally be carried out directly from Arabic. SZBA may in some cases review the quality of the translation before the translation fund is paid.
The quality of the book must be of an acceptable calibre and a quality assessment will be carried out by SZBA Scientific committee. The applicant must submit a promotional plan to the translated work.
A maximum of approximately 17.000€ per title; plus a supplement, if applicable, to cover specific promotion and production costs.
