Gender-diverse texts can be challenging to translate, as they often contain terms and concepts that do not have direct equivalents in other languages. This can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, which can have a negative impact on the quality of the translation.

The lack of gender-neutral and inclusive language in some languages can make it difficult to translate gender-diverse texts accurately and sensitively. This is where An Open Letter on Translating comes in.

This book is a comprehensive guide to translating gender-diverse texts. It provides translators with the tools and resources they need to produce accurate, sensitive, and inclusive translations.

An Open Letter on Translating is divided into three parts:

Part 1: to Gender-Diverse Language provides an overview of gender diversity, including the different terms and concepts used to describe gender identity and expression.
Part 2: Translating Gender-Diverse Texts provides practical guidance on how to translate gender-diverse texts, including how to handle pronouns, names, and other gendered terms.
Part 3: Resources for Translators provides a list of resources that translators can use to learn more about gender diversity and translating gender-diverse texts.

An Open Letter on Translating is an essential resource for anyone who translates gender-diverse texts. It is a comprehensive guide that provides translators with the tools and resources they need to produce accurate, sensitive, and inclusive translations.
