A unique seminar called ViceVersa will take place in Berlin at the end of January, where a group of translators working from Norwegian to German will meet with a group working from German to Norwegian in a whole week of in-depth translation work!
The seminar is arranged by translators Ebba Drolshagen and Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel, both well known in NORLA-circles, and Elisabeth Beanca Halvorsen, who translates from German to Norwegian.
Oliver Møystad from NORLA, who also translates from German, will be present at the seminar.
