Commonwealth Writers is working with three partners on the Bangla-English literary translation programme: the Dhaka Translation Center and the British Centre for Literary Translation as implementing partners, and English PEN who are providing part-funding for the project.
The Dhaka Translation Center celebrates the rich Bangladeshi literary tradition by encouraging a greater exchange with contemporary world literatures through translation workshops, fellowships, events and publishing partnerships.
The British Centre for Literary Translation is Britain’s leading centre for the development, promotion and support of literary translation and contemporary writing from around the world.
English PEN is the founding centre of a global literary network which works to defend and promote free expression and to remove barriers to literature. It promotes translation through its Writers in Translation programme.
