Literary translation could suffer irreparable loss

The Slovenian Society of Cultural Activities (JSKD) is considering changes to its literary translation workshops due to staff shortages and limited resources. These workshops, which take place in Piran and involve translating excerpts from selected literary works into languages such as English, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Swedish, have been running for nearly 30 years. The event includes social activities like meals, literary and musical evenings, and tourist excursions. However, concerns are growing about whether these workshops will continue in the future and how their potential discontinuation might affect the development of literary translators in Slovenia. The workshops were made possible through funding from the Public Agency for Books' 'Reading Culture' program.
