What are the rules of that competition? May 23, 2014

How long can the book be--in other words, what length is allowed/ Published when--before which year? From what language or what languages? Are you going to translate the book, or are you looking for books already translated to nominate them?

If you want to be a translator for an EU institution May 23, 2014

you must learn to explain what you need properly.
