2012 contest

27 bright shining dots for each excellent translation that secured first place in the 6th year of the contest

In Juvenes Translatores, pupils, teachers and EU translators are brought together from all four corners of Europe by their love of languages and the eternal challenge of transferring meaning, poetry and humour authentically from one language to another.

For every moment that translation may seem a bit of a chore, it is undeniably a vocation that offers endless variation and renewal.
