Mission & Goals
CEATL is an international non-profit association (AISBL) under Belgian law, officially created in 1993 as a platform where literary translators’ associations from different European countries could exchange views and information, and join forces to improve status and working conditions of literary translators. CEATL has two sets of aims, one internal and one external. On the internal front we gather information on the situation of literary translation and translators in the member countries and share experiences and examples of best practice. On the external front we defend the legal, social and economic interests of literary translators in a European context, which includes EU lobbying and reacting publicly to trends or events impacting on our profession and on the quality of literary translation. We help individual member associations to strengthen the position of literary translators in their countries.
EU Legislative Interests

Communication Activities
We oranized the European Conference on Literary Translation which took place place in in Strasbourg on 2-4 october 2024. The European Conference on Literary Translation is an initiative of CEATL (European Council of Literary Translators’ Associations) as part of the UNESCO World Book Capital programme. It brought together all parties involved in literary translation: translators, writers, publishers, booksellers, librarians, training establishments, residencies, book festivals and fairs, and all the organisations supporting literary translation in Europe. The working sessions, hosted by the European Parliament, were an unprecedented opportunity to discuss best practices and the challenges facing the sector (linguistic and editorial diversity, artificial intelligence, freedom of speech, etc.) We participate in the GPAI Code of Practice consultation and the Compass for Culture consultation.
