EU 2014 Young Translator contest coming up

The annual translation contest for 17-year-old students, Juvenes Translatores, will take place on 27 November. Over 3 000 teenagers across Europe will get a taste of what it is like to be a translator.
The competition is more popular by the year. In 2014, 1 953 schools wanted to participate, but the rules allow only 751 schools to take part. Here is the list of selected schools .
The Commission’s translators have been running Juvenes Translatores since 2007 to share their passion for languages. This year, on 27 November, students born in 1997 will be invited to try their hand at translating a one-page text on European identity in any of the 552 language combinations possible from among the EU’s 24 official languages.
