Dear colleagues,
Does anyone have any info on literary translation training provision in Libya, Algeria, Yemen, Palestine, Mauritania, Sudan?

Many many thanks and greetings!

Hope this helps.

I would certainly be extremely grateful for your input on Yemen and Sudan, neither of which I have covered as yet.
I'm working for a large European study on literary translation flows across the Med. I'll be submitting my report tonight (Spanish time) but even after that time any additional information will be most welcome.
Thank you so much for engaging with this!
With very best wishes,
