Sample translations for translators

Translators abroad and in Norway can apply to NORLA for subsidies for sample translations from Norwegian books of interest.

Please note that per November 1, 2019 our funding for this scheme is granted. Hence, new applications from translators may first be considered as of January 2020.

NORLA is now offering funds to translators who have ideas about how literature can be circulated either digitally, or in the usual manner, within the parameters allowed by the COVID-19 situation.

Travel grants for translators, agents, publishers and the press

NORLA offers funding for travel to Norway for translators, agents, publishers and members of the press for meetings with Norwegian publishers, agents and authors.

Mentor Scheme

Starting in the spring of 2014, NORLA has the pleasure of being able to offer a special mentor scheme for translators of Norwegian literature.
