  • Searching for Works by Language / 按语言搜索作品

  • The video below shows how to search for works by language.

    We have used the example of searching for works in Chinese and Chinese Mandarin, but the search can be repeated with any language in our database. Simply select the relevant language from the drop-down menu.

    For more information on how language operates on AustLit, see Tips for Searching by Language below the video.

  • Tips on Searching by Language

  • Searching for works by language will bring up two types of works in the same search:

    • works translated into a specific language.
    • works originally published in that language.

    To search exclusively for translations, see the video on searching translations.

    AustLit aims for a comprehensive record of international translations of Australian authors, but does not currently track translations of international authors by Australian translators.
