"Failure is a reality; we all fail at times, and it's painful when we do. But it's better to fail while striving for something wonderful, challenging, adventurous & uncertain than to say, 'I don't want to try because I may not succeed completely'"

-- Jimmy Carter, born #ITD 1924

And not only do @theemmapress.bsky.social #namethetranslator on the cover, they even name the translator ON THE SPINE!
😍

Definitely worthy of celebration!

And Kudos to the whole team at The Emma Press!
🎉

What a perfect way to celebrate both #InternationalTranslationDay #ITD & the last day of #WorldKidLitMonth: my translator copies of WHEN YOU WERE A CLOUD written by María José Ferrada & illustrated by Azul López (@theemmapress.bsky.social) arrived in the mail!
😍😍

A selfie (I am a middle-aged white man with close-cropped dark hair and a close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard, wearing a black t-shirt) in front of the bookcase of books I've translated, holding a copy of WHEN yOU WERE A CLOUD, published by The Emma Press, featuring an image by Azul López on the cover of a female-presenting dark-skinned figure in a yellow t-shirt and blue shorts lying on a golden field, looking upward, surrounded by red and green splotches to represent flowers.

A photo of my hand holding two copies of WHEN YOU WERE A CLOUD, so we can see the spine, which reads: Ferrada, López & Schimel and then the title.

So the translator is named not just on the cover but even on the spine!

We wrap up our 2026 #InternationalTranslationDay celebration with a very special feature: translator David Houston-Hill on Translating Songs & Poems: Matching Meaning, Style and Form. Sure to be fascinating AND useful for translators and translation buffs alike. Enjoy! #ITD #ITD2026

Celebrating International Translation Day by taking a break from translating a Spanish novel to enjoy some queijada in a Portuguese cafe while reading a Catalan novel. #ITD

Here's our next #InternationalTranslationDay treat: translators Shira Atik and Evan Fallenberg reading from Noa Yedlin's HOUSE ARREST (out Oct 13th from @newvesselpress.bsky.social!), a prizewinning satirical tale of scandal engulfing a prominent Jerusalem family. Enjoy! #ITD buff.ly/DbtX839

The vampy cult horror pic ‘Lust For A Vampire’ (aka ‘Love For A Vampire’ • ‘To Love A Vampire’ • ‘Mircalla, The Immortal Lover’) starring Barbara Jefford, Suzanna Leigh, Yutte Stensgaard, and Ralph Bates took a bite out of moviegoers in the US on this day 55 years ago (September 15 1971) 🩸 🧛🏻‍♀️ 💦 #ITD

Lad mig foreslå #ITD formanden, at han henter appen #Ønskeskyen, til alle de ønsker han har til at de danske skatteborgere, mest muligt kan subsidiere hans medlemmers trængselsskabende og ødsle 🚛 #pseudokørsel.
