Welsh Literature Abroad

Transcript
WLA is one of the 19 partners in the Literature Across Frontiers programme.

In 2002, Literature Across Frontiers launched Transcript, a new multilingual on-line review of books and writing featuring literary and publishing news from around Europe, with an emphasis on countries less represented on the international scene. Transcript (also a multi-lingual site) was developed and designed by Torchbox (screenshot below - click for enlarged version).

Welsh Literature Abroad (WLA)

Relationship
We have worked with the Welsh Literature Abroad team from Aberystwyth University for a couple of years; initially on their Mosaic project, and latterly on the Transcript Review and WLA websites.

Mission
To develop an international site that would promote Welsh Literature throughout Europe; that would be content manageable for the WLA team; and that would deliver UNICODE compliant pages in English, German, French and Welsh.

Solution
A clean design was created to appeal to an international audience and scale well with a growing library of content.

Powering the site is a bespoke content management system affording secure access for all WLA users, together with a WYSIWYG editing interface.
