In general, the translators were the authors. As the century has advanced, a greater professionalization has been produced and the range of translated work has been broadened. A great deal is translated into Catalan, but similarly, Catalan literature is also frequently translated. In recent years, more than sixty books are translated into other languages each year. As an example, we may mention the masters program on language and mass media given in collaboration with the Rovira i Virgili University.
Writers workshops .
Designed primarily for young writers. For one full weekend established writers talk about how they work to young writers. There have been workshops on narration, for example. This is an activity begun in 1996. It is aimed at getting to know other literature with problematics similar to Catalan, or literature with different yet contrasting realities to Catalan.
