A collage of featured images from the nominated translations for the second quarter of 2025.

Once a quarter, the Lingua project's Translation Managers select one or two outstanding translations that deserve a special round of applause, and those translations are showcased in a special section of this website called Translated Story Spotlight, alongside a few words as to why they were chosen.

In this latest round, we're celebrating translations that were published in April, May and June 2025. Be sure to browse through the posts for the individual honorees as well as check out the compiled list below of translators.

And of course, stay tuned for next quarter's selections!
