The Translators’ House Amsterdam is part of the Dutch Foundation for Literature. Founded in 1991, it provides accommodation for five translators of Dutch children’s and young adult literature, adult literature, literary non-fiction and poetry. To qualify, translators must be in possession of a translation contract. The minimum stay is for a period of two weeks, the maximum two months. Translators can apply for a grant to help finance their stay and a contribution towards their travel costs.
The Translators’ House is located in the southern district of Amsterdam, a stone’s throw from the Concertgebouw and the three main museums, the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum.
