I have the same problem. I have translated my MA and PhD in English, and just updating them. For now, I have no solution. I have once been given the opportunity for such a thing through an email, but I was not sure abut the authenticity of the publishing house. If You wish, I may try to find that email for You. However, be careful as such things may not be original. If You can help me as well, I would be honored. My work(s) are concerned with semiotics and literature.

Thanks.

Hi Bujar - I don't think we are quite talking about the same thing, sorry. If I have correctly understood you, you are looking for a publisher for your dissertation/thesis. Is that so?

I am talking about researching the publication of translated literature as the subject of my dissertation - trends in translation publication in different countries/language pairs. 

I do hope you get a mother-tongue English-speaker (professional translator) to provide a full revision of your translation; but that, too, costs money...

I wish you luck and if I do hear of anything, I'm happy to share, of course.

Yes Maybe I have midunderstoid you. Rrdearching altrady trsnslatef matrial is what you need. That is a bit more difficult. Sorry then. 

Hi Sian, you might find it useful to consult national book institutes which usually keep record on the publication of translated literature both from and into their languages. Polish Book Institute does, I'm convinced you can find useful information on their site Magda 

Hi, Magda - many thanks for your reply and apologies for my very tardy response! Yes, looking at individual national book institute data is certainly an option - not available for all countries, or not that reliably, I'm guessing. I may need to narrow my research down to just certain countries. Also depends whether the data is available by online means. The British Library is a good resource, although not that easy to gain access to the online data - you have to go there in person to apply. Humph.

Hi Sian,

You might like to have a look at this free publication by the Dalkey Archive Press:

All the best,

Hello Roy - thank you for this article, very interesting, sorry for the delay in feeding back, I missed it. I have gone on to something completely different for my dissertation, but am still very interested by this subject, too!

Dear Sian,

I read that you have changed topic for your MA thesis. But as I am interested in the research field of translations, too, I would be greatful if you could give me the link of the two other datasets that you mentions. I know the Index Translationum, but not CODAK and 3 percent. And in case you have a paper on the various limitations you mentioned, I would be very greatful:

Thanks in advance, christian
