Translator

Hi Everyone,

When a person translates a book from one language to another, where does the translator put his/her name? Or does she?

I imagine it has to go somewhere but where?

It is the publisher who decides this. I have a book here where the title appears on an inside page before the text:

TRACY CHEVALIER (original authoress)

La Joven de la Perla (title, large font)

Traducción de Pilar Vázquez (underneath, small font)

Yup, I've usually seen "Translated by" or "Traducido por" at the Copyright page... where you read the ISBN, or the Library of Congress number... and things like that.

The Asterix Comics, certainly had it there... Traducido por Víctor Mora (or Jaime Périch...)

In press articles I'm used to see "title", "by Original Author" below, then all the text and at the end of all "traducción: Fulano de Tal"

The author right.
I have seen in the book that they put his or her names.

The copyrighter in some many cases.
What's the book are you reading?


Sincerely yours.

Well, it's not a book I am reading. Actually I am translating a small paperback book. I'm starting small so that I can eventually graduate to bigger things.

Then that kind to translations changes the things completely.

@Elaina, hey, that's a good endeavor! (How big is the book?)

@Crotalito... mmmh... I don't understand... what are you trying to say?
