Translators' House Wales: 2010 Translation Challenge

Translators’ House Wales launched its latest Translation Challenge at the 2010 Hay Festival. The extract set as this year's Translation Challenge comes from the short story, La folie était venue avec la pluie by Yanick Lahens, originally written in French.

You can download the extract below: the challenge is to translate it from French into English or Welsh, and Patrick McGuiness and Gareth Miles will adjudicate.

The winner’s name will be announced at 11.00 am on Thursday 5 August 2010 on Aberystwyth University’s stand at the 2010 National Eisteddfod of Wales in Blaenau Gwent. The prize is a commission to translate the whole story, two nights accommodation at Tŷ Newydd-Translators' House Wales (to be arranged with Tŷ Newydd) and the 2010 Bardic Staff.
