Thank you, LTI Korea By Mark Peterson
I have two reasons to offer gratitude to the LTI ― the Korean Literature Translation Institute. The first reason for appreciation for what the LTI does ― and I would like to inform my readers of this organization and its work ― is that the Institute fosters the translation of Korean literature into foreign languages. They have several programs: they host translation seminars, they give grants to young translators to encourage the development of the translation skills of young translators in multiple languages, and they give awards to translators of novels into various foreign languages. They also give awards to organizations and individuals that publish and facilitate the dissemination of Korean in foreign languages ― what they call Outstanding Service Awards.
