Third season of NORLA’s translators hotel

At NORLA we are pleased about the overwhelming response to our offer of stays at the translators hotel for translators who translate directly from Norwegian. This autumn four lucky applicants have been awarded two-week stays simultaneously in Oslo at Hotell Bondeheimen. This will be the translators hotel’s third season.

The four translators we are happy to give a warm welcome to Oslo are:

Marina Heide (French)
Anastasia Naumova (Russian)
Daniela Stilzebach (German)
Paul Russell Garrett (British)
