Procedure and guidelines

We accept translations of book reviews or articles from Target by individual translators or by translation teachers who are supervising a translation project with their students (see our Message for Translation Teachers).

The base of translated articles is constantly growing. If you are interested in contributing to our project, please take a look at the translation database on this website to see whether a translation of the article of your interest already exists. While we do not accept different translations of the same (review) article into the same target language, multiple translations into different target languages are welcome.

Please always check with the MWE before you start to translate, as a translation project might already be in progress! For that purpose, please fill out the TRANSLATION REQUEST FORM and send it to our MWE ([email protected]).

Once you have embarked on your translation project, please respect the following guidelines:

A sample translation is offered here for your guidance.

Submission

When finished, translations should be submitted to the MWE at [email protected]
