TRADUcat: Translators from catalan

This data base provides contact information on translators of Catalan literature who have recently-published translated works. This information is drawn from TRAC, a data base of translations of Catalan literature, and serves as a resource for those requiring information on literary translators who are currently active.

The data base can also include translators who have at least one work translated from Catalan to another language, in book format, and as the sole translator of that work. Translators can send us their name and contact information, in order to update our database. We welcome your comments, additions or corrections which may be e-mailed to us at: rcrespi@llull.cat or Llull general email.

You can see if these items are available in the library of the Institut Ramon Llull.

Agnès Elmaleh

Agnès Elmaleh

Between 2020 and 2025, Agnès Elmaleh took an extended break in her teaching and research activities in Earth and Planetary Sciences in order to start translating. Her training began at the University Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), with a postgraduate degree in literary translation and a dissertation entitled “A partir de una carta de Julio Cortázar a Pierrette Fleutiaux” and continued at the Centre Européen de Traduction Littéraire. She has translated social sciences articles (English- and Spanish-French, platform Cairn) and practiced audiovisual translation (Spanish-French, Editrama) but she has a predilection for works of fiction. She has published the French translation of the short novel “No cregui el que diuen de mi” written by the Minorcan author Joan Pons in the literary magazine CAFÉ in 2024 (CAFÉ Feu). In 2023, she received an ATLAS-Institut Ramon Llull grant in order to participate in a ViceVersa Catalan/French workshop at the CITL, in Arles, and another one from the IRL, for the translation of short novels by Pere Calders. In 2024, thanks to an Archipelagos residence (ATLAS-EU), she has proposed the translation of several works in catalan (short novels and novels) written by three authors from the Balearic Islands—where she resided for four years. She now lives in Paris.
