Submissions for the first call of the ©POLAND Translation Programme in 2026 take place from 5 February to 31 March. Grant results will be announced by the end of July 2026.

The ©POLAND Translation Programme promotes Polish literature throughout the world. It is aimed at foreign and Polish publishers interested in publishing Polish books in foreign-language translations.

Foreign publishers can use the grant to finance part of the costs of publishing the work, including, among others, translating the work from Polish into another language and purchasing copyright licenses. The subsidy can also be granted for printing children’s books, comics or richly illustrated works.

In 2025 alone, we co-financed 178 foreign editions of Polish books. In all editions of the program, we have co-financed a total of almost 4,000 translations of Polish books into foreign languages.

Applications should be submitted through the Internet form available here.
