RR+: The Hobbit translated into Romansh - crowdfunding now!

If you have a bit of money to spare and would to support a very special translation of Tolkien’s The Hobbit, hop on over to this crowdfunding venture (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) happening right now with the Swiss publishing house Ediziun Apart (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) (information is available in German, French, and Italian; this is a link (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) to a Google Translator version in English.)

After years of preparation and the necessary agreements with HarperCollins Ediziun Apart is set to publish the translation of Not Battesta Soliva.

It gives me great pleasure of seeing that a colleague received the support of the Übersetzerhaus in Looren (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) [pdf] during his work on this translation. I have had the pleasure of visiting the Europäisches Übersetzer-Kollegium (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) (European Translator's Residence) in Straelen many times for my translations and had hoped to visit Looren on a stipend some time.

Anyway, it is always amazing to see a ‘new’ translation of The Hobbit, particularly into ‘smaller’ languages.

Do share this as much as you can - and chip in if you can! 😇
