  • Searching for Translations / 搜索翻译作品

  • The video below shows how to search for translations. This is a slightly different process for searching by language and returns different results (see Tips on Searching for Translations below the video).

    We have used the example of searching for works with Japanese translations, 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 translations operate on AustLit, see Tips for Searching for Translations below the video.

  • Tips on Searching for 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.

    Searching for translations will only show works that begin in one language and are then published in a second one. For works published originally in a language other than English, see the video on searching for works by language.

    Translations can continue to be published for some years after a work's original publication, so searches will return different results over time.
