LINGUISTIC DUALITY (OR MORE BOOKS IN FRENCH?)…

Over the next three years, more money than ever before will be available for official language translations by Canadian professional publishers through the National Translation Program for Book Publishing . In addition to increasing the availability of books in English and in French, the program will include three pilot initiatives to build capacity in the industry and improve the quality of translations. The Department of Canadian Heritage is extending for three years its one-year agreement signed in 2009-10 with the Canada Council for the Arts and is transferring a total of $4.25 million to the Council to help publishers in Canada translate Canadian-authored books into English and French, as part of the Government's Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality.
