Translated Fanfics Fimfiction Group Arrives - "Found in Translation"

Translated fanfics are hard to search but actually all over the place! Now you can find a bunch of them and contribute your own. The admin, Frith, has put a ton of work into getting it all set up and easy to navigate.

Head on down below for a press release to learn all about it!

Press Release:

I created a group on FiMFiction designed to link the English language stories published there to versions translated into other languages. The group, called Found in Translation, is meant as a resource for the larger, worldwide community, a reference library linking individual FiMFiction stories to the scattered fanfiction archives where those stories have been translated. My intention is to make it easier for people to find translations in their native language, to show the global reach of fanfiction, to encourage networking and to satisfy everyone's values through friendship and ponies.

FiMFiction contains 160,580 stories. That's 2,763,290,850 words. If you were to read all it, non-stop, it would take you 1,096 weeks. There is no easy way of finding stories published on FiMFiction that have been translated. Of the stories that have been translated, most do not say so in the story summary or teaser. Found in Translation changes that. It is a language-specific reference library with over 700 stories in the folders and with a forum where the links to the translations are given. Many of the stories are entire books, like Anthropology (translated into Spanish, Korean, Italian and Ukrainian), Fallout Equestria (translated into Spanish and Italian) and Hard Reset (translated into Spanish, Russian and French). Most are fan favorites. There are only 12 languages to choose from right now, but more languages will be added as they are found. As more members join and contribute links, the additions should accelerate.

Come on down to https://www.fimfiction.net/group/219287/found-in-translation . Choose some translated fanfiction and polish your language comprehension skills.

The world is multi-lingual and so is the Pony fandom. Let's party!

Frith, Administrator
