Iordanis Papazis is a volunteer for Global Voices in Greek. His translation of the story “A gay Iranian photographer's journey of survival” from French to Greek has been nominated for the Lingua Translation Spotlight.

Once a quarter, Lingua Translation Managers select one or two outstanding translations that deserve a special round of applause. Veroniki Krikoni, the Greek Lingua Translation Manager at Global Voices, said Iordanis is “one of our newest members in GV Greek, who has been meticulous and super active during his short tenure with us” and this particular translated story was quite popular with readers.

Congratulations, Iordanis, for your excellent work! Check out histranslation on the Global Voices in Greek website:
