Around the world in translation – International Translation Day 2107 in Basque Country
Around the world in translation – International Translation Day 2107 in Basque Country
9 Oct, 2017

For International Translation Day, the Association of Translators, Correctors and Interpreters of the Basque Language (EIZIE (http://www NULL.eizie NULL.eus/)) launched an initiative to get one sentence in Basque translated into as many languages as possible.

The sentence was taken from a text (Berbelitzenak (http://www NULL.eizie NULL.eus/en/Argitalpenak/alebereziak/grafikoa)) written by Anjel Lertxundi, a Basque author, and is the following:

“Itzulpena ez da posible, baina itzulpenak bizi gaitu.”

Participants sent 35 translations in 21 languages (see here (http://www NULL.eizie NULL.eus/en/Jarduerak/bestelako_egitasmoak/munduari_itzulia)). A raffle was held among the participants to win a copy of the book.
