The US market for translations
Article Abstract:
About fifty percent of all the books translated in the world are translated from English, but only 3% into English. Among 134,000 books published every year in United States, only 300 are literary translations, which is surprising as the US is a country which is comprised of many immigrants and as the editorial directors of the major presses often have a personal interest in foreign fiction.
