Translation & transcreation

Client: Poëziecentrum Gent

Project: Dichter des vaderlands – Poète National – Nationaler Dichter is a literary exchange initiative that aims to build a bridge between the three official language communities in Belgium: Dutch – French – German. Every two years, a poet from a different language community is appointed to write at least six poems a year on various themes around current events in Belgium. The initiative started in 2014.

Content: project website, press releases, blog posts, speeches

Susan is an excellent translator and a pleasure to communicate with. The website and newsletter translations related to literary and cultural contents and events that Susan made for Poëziecentrum always succeeded in striking the right note. We can recommend her as a reliable translator with thorough professional competence in her specialist fields.
