EU support for literary translation is aimed at enhancing knowledge of the literature and literary heritage of fellow Europeans. Applications from individual publishers and publishing houses for the translation of collections of fiction from one European language into another are eligible under this scheme.  The translation and promotion of books for which authors have won the EUPL (EU Prize for Literature) are particularly encouraged.  Read more here.
