Arboretum de Villardebelle

TRANSLATORS WANTED

The Arboretum is looking for translators in all languages (except english).
The Arboretum is looking for translators from french into their own language. The text to be translated is the short novel (about six A4 pages) by french writer Jean Giono, The Men Who Planted Trees. Each new translation will be displayed on the web. The french author wrote in a letter : « The aim was to make love the tree or more exactly to make love to plant trees (what is since ever one of my dearest ideas).[..] I gave my rights freely for all copies. » If you are interested by this project of multiple translations, please, write to the Arboretum.
