    These grants are intended to encourage the globalization of Korean literature by supporting the translation and overseas publication of the finest literary works of Korean literature. Translations into English, French, German, and Spanish are supported, each project approved receiving a translation support grant of 15 million Won.

    In 2006, 46 translation projects were submitted, screening in each language being undertaken by experienced translators and foreign literary specialists. As a result, 4 translation projects in English, 3 in French, 4 in German and 1 in Spanish, a total of 12 projects were selected; the total representing a sum of 180 million Won. A grant-awarding ceremony was held in the Auditorium of the 10th floor of Kyobo Building on August 24, 2006. In order to encourage the translation of outstanding works of Korean literature, and reduce the difficulties facing potential translators in the selection of works, we publish a list of potential titles; this year, the list was revised to give priority to full-length novels.
