Translation grants in the exportation of Basque literature (2003-2021)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper aims to delve into the circulation of translations from literature written in a small or lesser translated language into various foreign languages by examining subsidies given by source public institutions. Through a case study focused on Basque literature, this paper examines cultural policies as a tool for promoting a national cultural identity abroad and for enriching and gaining economic, social and cultural capital. By observing public subsidies awarded in the period 2003-2021 for the translation of literary works written by Basque authors, this paper offers a deeper knowledge of the exportation strategies of Basque literature. Therefore, the first stage of the analysis focuses on the characteristics of annual grants offered by Basque public institutions and the second stage examines the subsidised translations. One of the most significant results is that regional bodies stand out as those principally responsible for financially supporting the exportation of minority-language literature production. Moreover, the study demonstrates that books written in Basque are the main beneficiaries of the aid, compared to books written in Spanish. Another relevant conclusion is that intrastate translations, especially translations into Spanish, are significantly frequent compared to other target languages.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
