VNS report that in Viet Nam they're planning a Translation centre to promote nation's literature, as:
The Viet Nam Writers' Association will launch a translation centre next month to help promote Vietnamese literature abroad, according to the association's chairman Huu Thinh.I look forward to hearing more details; the South-East Asian region (including Thailand, Burma, as well as Laos and Cambodia) is, along with the Central Asian one, one of the huge, almost-nothing-gets-translated-from-here (into English) global deadspots, and it'll be interesting to see if this helps.
