#BritishMuseum settles case with @yilinwriter after using her work #translating Chinese feminist #poet #QiuJin, then removing it, all w/o permission, credit, or payment - “the worst possible outcome. The public are now not only being denied the chance to see my translations, and to know who wrote them, but also the chance to read Qiu Jin’s words too ... two female writers of colour have both had their work erased. We are not disposable.”

Hach, es lohnt sich doch, sich auf die Hinterbeine zu stellen. Das British Museum ändert jetzt seinen grundsätzlichen Umgang mit Übersetzungsrechten. #NameTheTranslator #PayTheTranslator

War ein Hinweis aus der Literaturübersetzer-Bubble.

British Museum settles case with translator after using work 'without permission, credit or payment'
: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/08/08/british-museum-settles-case-with-translator-after-using-work-without-permission-credit-or-payment Well done @yilinwriter! #translation #BritishMuseum #Copyright #CopyrightInfrigement #NameTheTranslator #PayTheTranslator #Chinese #Poetry #museums

Vertaalster Yilin Wang @yilinwriter heeft toch gelijk gekregen van het British Museum. De teksten van dichteres Qiu Jin komen weer in de tentoonstelling, met Wangs vertalingen erbij, nu met haar naam, en Wang krijgt een fatsoenlijke vergoeding. Eind goed al goed, hopelijk doet het museum het volgende keer meteen goed en niet pas als er een advocaat bij is gehaald.

Danke für die Dickinson-Erinnerung an einem Sommermorgen! Werde gleich mal wieder in die wunderbare Ausgabe von Lola Gruenthal, Diogenes Verlag, eintauchen.

Muss gestehen, dass ich die Übersetzung (von??) des itierten Sommermorgen-Gedichts nicht gelungen finde.

Alright, everyone, we are just a little more than £1k away from meeting the fundraiser target which is the minimum that would allow me to start legal action. Do you think we can make it to the finishing line today? It would be so amazing! Thank you!!

There has been a poignant thread on the bird about copyright infringement by the British Museum. The wronged translator is crowdfunding so they can take legal action against the BM:

We're half way through the fundraising period.

There are just 5 days left. I know everyone is tired (including me) lol. But let's get through this and hold the British Museum accountable!!

If you ever wanted to do something about the British Museum's theft, please spread the word:

@CrypticMirror The British Museum is deliberately misrepresenting my demands. In my very first tweet I wrote #NameTheTranslator and then I said that they could not use my translations unless they paid me -- I wanted to make it clear they couldn't use it without permission and have to credit me and pay me a reasonable fee! Instead they removed the Chinese and the English and refuse to name the translator!

- Please donate to hold the British Museum accountable for the erasure of Chinese feminist poet Qiu Jin -

Today I want to talk about the importance of poetry in a Chinese cultural context and why this makes the removal of Qiu Jin's poetry especially problematic. Please share!

A better piece from the Guardian taking in the current row about the British Museum's use of Yilin Wang's translations without permission or credit. #NameTheTranslator #LiteraryTranslation #BritishMuseum #TranslatorsOnTheCover #translation #xl8

Totally vouching for @yilinwriter here. We were editors for the wuxia and xianxia @strangehorizons special issue.

Hold the British Museum accountable!
