On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Lithuanian Literary Translators’ Union (LLVS), on 21 March. A meeting with translators – “Let’s See the Invisible” – took place in the Conference Hall of the Ieva Simonaityt\u0117 Public Library of Klaip\u0117da County.<\/p>\n
During the event, translators in residence at the International Translators and Writers Centre (TVRC) – Irena Aleksait\u0117, Jon\u0117 Ramunyt\u0117, R\u016bta Kum\u017eien\u0117-Jonynait\u0117, Audron\u0117 Ku\u010dinskien\u0117 – presented an exhibition of portraits of the members of the Lithuanian Translators’ Union, read excerpts from their own translated literary works, and together with the guests of the event, discussed the translator’s work and the special mission of the Lithuanian Translators’ Association.<\/p>\n
Imagine a world without translators and translations – no more books, no more films, no more concerts, no more events, no more knowledge about the structure of the world and of ourselves, scientists are still discovering and inventing, but it is still the property of their people. The world would not develop, it would be dull and flat.<\/em><\/p>\n Translators usually remain in the shadows, their names are not known to anyone, they are as if they do not exist. Translators are overshadowed by the greatness of the author, of the work, and it is forgotten that the translator is the co-author of the work, and that without his or her talent and skill, we would not be able to enjoy the work of great writers.<\/em><\/p>\n The Lithuanian Literary Translators’ Union (LLVS) has done a great deal of work over the 20 years of its existence to bring translators out of the shadows, and to ensure that their work is valued and visible. Gradually, the translator’s name is being heard more and more widely, prizes and special events are being awarded, communities of translators are forming, and their work is being publicly recognised as valuable and necessary. Translators take form, image and sound, but are still mostly invisible to the general public.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”6575,6573,6571,6569″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Lithuanian Literary Translators’ Union (LLVS), on 21 March.
