About Nordbok's support schemes

Translation support - April 1 and October 1
The aim of the translation grant is to encourage the publication of Nordic literature in other Nordic languages than the original language. Twice a year, Nordbok supports the translation of literature between the Nordic languages. Nordbok primarily supports the translation costs, but as for the small language areas Greenland, the Faroe Islands and the Sami language area, Nordbok might also support the publication costs for publications which require particularly heavy investments.
