🌍✨ Happy International Translation Day to our literary translation community! 🌍✨

To celebrate, we asked our 2026 Summer School cohort to share what translation means to them. We had so many thoughtful and meaningful responses, and we will be sharing a selection of them throughout the day.

David Bellos, renowned scholar of French fiction and ‘totally brilliant translator,’ dies at age 80
His work grappled with the tricky nature of interpreting between languages and embraced the potential of language itself to help us understand the human condition.
