Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Misplaced Pages.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation.

The organization of the Awards is given to FOC in the context of the Law of Encouragement for Culture (LEC). They replace the Schiller Prize which was awarded for the last time in the spring of 2012.
In December 2012 the Swiss Literature Awards rewarded eight literary works that had marked the year. The federal literature jury, presided over by Dominik Müller, made their choice for this first award from 236 participating works.
Principals
The awarded authors receive 25,000 Swiss francs each and benefit from specific support measures, so that they may be better known on the national level. Lectures are organized in all of Switzerland so that they may reach their public beyond the linguistic boundaries of the languages of Switzerland. The quadrilingual web platform Prixliterature.ch presents the jury's commentary about the prizewinning works and gives a first impression of the author's life experience and bibliography.
