Athra Book Translation Project

Athra Translation Publishing House has launched its project for translating books. It is an interactive project that culminates in the translation and publishing of books among all libraries and e-book stores and exhibiting these books in book fairs and translation fora. In this respect, the publishing house supplies translators with the support, assistance, guidance, evaluation, and rectification they need.

The translator would become a member of the "Athra" platform, which is a membership granted to the admitted candidate who would have access to training and qualification via training sessions culminating in granting accredited certificates. The selected translators can also attend "Athra" discussion panels, collaborate with the "Athra" team to translate books and work under the supervision of specialists in translation, where they would select the book they would like to translate upon providing them with a list of the available books and granting them exclusive rights to those books. The translators would also be able to devise a plan for completing the translation while benefiting from constant follow-up. They would ultimately be qualified to submit their applications for obtaining support in terms of translation or nominations for receiving translation prizes. Finally, they would be prioritized translators in terms of joining "Athra" translation projects, taking part in the translation process, and publishing their translations on the "Athra" translation platform.
