We want to celebrate the under appreciated art of translation & to encourage everyone to read widely and internationally.

Rydyn ni am ddathlu'r grefft o gyfieithu nad yw'n cael ei gwerthfawrogi'n ddigonol ac am annog pawb i ddarllen yn eang ac yn rhyngwladol.

Helen Vassallo of Translating Women at Gŵyl 2020

“A translator is probably the closest reader a book will ever have”

Gŵyl means festival in Welsh, haf means summer.

Gŵyl is a voluntary project started by frequent collaborators Caitlin Van Buren and Will Dawson.

Gŵyl Haf is based in the Wye Valley, in South Wales.

Sefydlwyd Gŵyl yn Nyffryn Gwy, yn Ne Cymru.

“Without translation, and translators work, we wouldn’t understand and succeed in living together with understanding and peace”’
