Tarajim
Academic Translations and Events Management Centre

Where scholarship, language, and occasion meet.

Tarajim supports the people who study, translate, and celebrate ideas — researchers working through archives, universities hosting visiting delegations, and readers gathering for a book's first evening in the world.

What we do

Four areas of work, each drawing on the same care for language and detail.
Translation

Academic & archival translation

Careful translation of scholarly texts, papers, and manuscripts, paired with research assistance for archival material — helping researchers read, contextualise, and cite sources that would otherwise sit out of reach.

Delegations

Delegation management

End-to-end coordination for visiting delegations — a five-day academic or cultural programme built around a delegation's interests, schedule, and protocol.

Book Fairs

Book fairs & cultural events

Planning and on-the-ground management of book fairs and cultural gatherings, built for an audience of serious readers, academics, and institutions.

Launches

Book launches

Launch events for newly translated or newly published work, designed to bring a book properly into the world in front of the readers who will care about it most.

Who we work with

Tarajim was built around a specific kind of audience: people who take language and scholarship seriously. That shapes how we translate, how we plan an event, and how we think about pacing a delegation's week.

We're a small, dedicated centre — which means the same attention that goes into a single archival document also goes into the run of show for a five-day programme. Nothing is handed off to a template.

Who we serve

  • Universities and academic institutions
  • Senior educationists and researchers
  • Master's students and postgraduate scholars
  • Embassies and cultural delegations
  • Publishers, authors, and readers

In practice

A sense of the shape our projects take.
Archive

A manuscript, made legible

Translation and research support on archival material for a doctoral researcher, turning fragile primary sources into usable scholarship.

Delegation

Five days, one country

A full itinerary for a visiting academic delegation — institutional visits, cultural programming, and the translation work that held it together.

Launch

A book's first evening

Venue, programme, and audience brought together for the launch of a newly translated title, in front of the readers it was written for.

A translation carries a book across a border. An event gives it somewhere to land. — Tarajim
