Re: The Dutch translation has been out since early February, a quick Google tells me. DomA Send a noteboard - 02/05/2011 11:16:08 PM
It is out already in French? That just isn't fair.

Could it be that the English translation is just really, really slow?


The Dutch translations always seem to me to come out early. It might just be your translators are really efficient, or your publishers really keen to release the foreign books early.

I think it's more that Eco was busy with the translations he's more involved in as he said in an interview (local paper, but done in Paris) last week his promotional appearances were kept really short (eg: 2 days in France, to appear on a few TV shows and meets journalists in small groups for interviews) as he was still very busy working with his translators.

I know he always revise with Schiffano his French translations, and Schiffano said Eco does that for the languages he's fluent in, so I would assume at least Spanish and English.

I guess he may not be as involved in the Dutch translations, but it's just a guess.
