My thoughts on critiques of #TranslatorsOnTheCover as being unrelated to pay/working conditions 1/
1st, things are different in France, where translators have a union & 33% of published novels are translations as opposed to 1-3% in Eng. This already makes lit. translation a visible, accepted profession. Fr. readers aren't considered to be allergic to reading in translation. 2/
For me, #TranslatorsOnTheCover is about reaching the reader and author as much as the publisher. The received wisdom in US/UK is that readers avoid translations, tho to my knowledge, no one has ever produced market research on this point. 3/
And on International Translation Day, we're going to be talking about translators, a sector of the literary world that deserves maximum attention, respect and gratitude, but which is often overlooked.
Any author lucky enough to be published in non-English-speaking countries has at least one translator. However, most authors don't get to meet or speak with their translators, and many don't even know their names.
This is a pity, because a good translation can make a book, just as a bad one can sink it; and the more help an author can give their translator, the better the result is likely to be.
