Another #TranslatorInterview, this time from @racheltranslates.bsky.social
I'm loving the thought and effort that is going into these answers and I'm finding out so much about the world of translation I just didn't realise

I think this will be the last full (but mini) review I’ll post for this year’s #WITMonth - I’ve read a few others that I’ll round up but this one from @foundryeditions.bsky.social was brilliant

An accidental #WITMonth book today, & one I'm only blogging about to make sure that the translator gets some recognition because she really doesn't in the physical book.
Sadly no #TranslatorsOnTheCover but I've definitely made sure to #namethetranslator norfolkbookworm.blogspot.com/2025/08/micr...
Pour les jeux vidéos, il y avait #TranslatorsInTheCredits et en plus général, #NameTheTranslator et #TranslatorsOnTheCover mais aucune idée des dates ou de refs, désolée.
Cover of Wild Boar features an illustrated, dark green forest with the title in striking pink font.

I did however spot 19 #translatorsonthecover though!
My subjective impression is that there has, but it’s frustrating that editors/copy editors/reviewers often give so little thought to the translator that it’s possible for us to just be forgotten.
To me, this is a key point in favour of #translatorsonthecover. There, at least, our names will be seen.
Yessss! #TranslatorsontheCover, 🙏🙏 Chicago Manual of Style!
Behold! The Chicago Manual of Style, 18th Edition agrees:
#NameTheTranslator on the cover.

I drew on a middle school teaching experience to write about #namethetranslator, #translatorsonthecover, and #namethesourcelanguage in relation to the needs of young readers. Feedback coveted! HT #ALSC, @antonhur.com, @authorsguild.bsky.social, @philnel.bsky.social:
