Lost In Translation Weekend 2026

A multilanguage event aimed to preserve more language diversity on ao3.

Here's ao3 collection. It'll be revealed on December 4th.

Text version below:

How many non-English fics are there on AO3? What if, for just one weekend, we all went back to our native languages? Let's forget about general audience and return to our roots.

Your original prose gets lost in translation, and we want you to reclaim it so you can see it in all its glory.

This is an event aimed at seeing more languages on AO3 besides English. It involves translating fanfic or a brand-new one in your native language.

FAQ

"English is my native language." In that case, you can take the opportunity to try translating your fics into another language you know, or ask someone who speaks that language to do it.

"My native language is derived from English." But it isn't English, innit. Accepted.

"I want to translate someone else's work." PLEASE, ask the author first.

Additional fun fact: December 6th is Spain's Constitution Day 🤓👆🏻
