The third Translator Workshop took place from 26 to 28 September in the Culture Port of Cetate (in the south of Romania). The workshop was aimed at translators of German-language literature from Romania and other Eastern European countries.

On 25 September 2009 the Austrian novelist Christoph Ransmayr and the German poet Daniela Danz held a reading from their books The Last World (Ransmayr) and Pontus (Danz) in the Bucharest bookshop Cărtureşti . In these works both authors use the Black Sea as a theme. The second edition of Ransmayr’s novel was published in 2009 by the Rumanian publisher RAO. The reading was organised by the S. Fischer Foundation (TRADUKI) in partnership with the Austrian Culture Forum of Bucharest, publisher RAO, the Bucharest book information centre and the Bucharest Goethe-Institut.
