Announcement of the first selection of publishers’ submissions to the ©POLAND Translation Programme in 2026
This year, we awarded grants to 197 proposals submitted by publishers from 40 countries, including Argentina, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Mongolia, and South Korea. For the first time, a Polish book has the chance to be published in Pakistan in Urdu.
The list of proposals that received support under the Program can be found at the bottom of the page. Publishers who received grant funding will be individually notified of their grant amounts in the near future.
The ©POLAND Translation Programme is the Book Institute’s flagship program, aimed at foreign and Polish publishers of Polish book translations. We support the publication of fiction and non-fiction, works of the broadly defined humanities, historical works, children’s and young adult literature, and comics.
The Programme allows publishers to cover part of the publication costs, including translating from Polish into another language, purchasing licenses, and—in the case of richly illustrated books—printing the book.
The goal of the ©POLAND Translation Programme is to promote Polish literature worldwide. Since its beginning, we have supported the publication of nearly 4,000 books!
