United Kingdom

Literary translators in the United Kingdom work closely with London's publishing industry, which has increasingly championed translated fiction in recent years through dedicated imprints and prizes. UK-based translators cover a wide range of language pairs, with particularly strong demand for French, German, Scandinavian, and Japanese translation.

Look for a translator who works into their native language rather than out of it, since even fluent bilingual translators tend to produce more natural prose writing into their mother tongue.
