Indonesia, the Frankfurt Book Fair’s Guest of Honor

Many readers enjoy Indonesian literature because it is very expressive and deep. Some publishers have rendered professional Indonesian translation services to translate their literature into foreign languages for a global audience. By translating the works they are trying to expose foreigners to Indonesian literature. Non-Indonesian speakers who are interested in familiarizing themselves with Indonesian writers’ works have benefited from such translations. They have been able to expand their horizon and read stories written by Indonesian writers. Indonesia has plans to promote Indonesian literature around the globe. Translators assist the efforts of parties that want to encourage foreigners to pick up Indonesian-language books. Indonesia is scheduled to be the guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2015.

The event organizers have emphasized that people of Germany know very little about Indonesia so this fair would be a good opportunity for them to be introduced to the literature that it has to offer. The Director of Frankfurt Book Fair hopes that this event will introduce the country’s vibrant literature and rich culture to Germans. Since they cannot understand the text in the original language, they will depend on professional translation for Indonesian to comprehend the books. The Indonesians will be presenting samples of their greatest poetry and literary works by world-famous authors, such as Pramoedya Ananta Toer. During his career this writer received many awards, and his works were translated from Indonesian into more than 20 languages. In addition, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Indonesian translators have played an instrumental role in facilitating communications across cultures.

Indonesia has participated in international tourism exhibitions to bring its publications to readers around the world. As of this year approximately 260 Indonesian-language publications have been translated into English.
