Translation and Publishing Grants

This list is designed to help you find translation grants available from different countries. Please note that countries with more than one official language may have different grants/organisations. Equally, for languages that are widely-spoken, you may need to apply in the country where the book originates. Some countries only open grant applications for a window of time, and listed grants are always subject to change. All links are correct as of March 2019.
