A collage of featured images from the honored translations for the first half of 2026.

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

In this latest round, we're celebrating translations that were published in the first several months of 2026. Be sure to browse through the posts for the individual honorees as well as check out the compiled list below of translators.
