We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for Translating Chile 2027, with the deadline being 30 June 2026, at 23:59 Chile Continental Time. All information, in English and Spanish, are available here. Submissions can be made via the link on this page.
The program provides full or partial funding for projects proposed by foreign publishers for the translation and publication of Chilean literary works, into foreign languages other than Spanish, whether classical or contemporary, fiction or non-fiction, in the following genres: novels, short stories, poetry, essays, graphic narrative, drama, children and youth literature, and memoirs (letters, chronicles, autobiographies, biographies). These works may be published in print and/or digital formats. Applications that intend to publish the translated work exclusively on a print-on-demand basis will not be accepted.
All publishing houses are invited to submit their translation projects for consideration. The program offers funding of up to USD 6,000 per selected project, covering translation and printing costs. To participate, applicants must nominate an experienced translator with a proven track record, and a professional proofreader to ensure the quality and accuracy of the translation.
The list of eligible applications will be published on 17 August and the final results will be announced on 12 October 2026.
