The European Day of Languages has been celebrated since 2001 through activities such as radio programmes, festivals, language classes and activities for children. The aims of the EDL are to increase intercultural understanding, encourage language learning and to promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe. As the editor of the Translating Shakespeare blog series I feel that the aims of the EDL very much reflect that of the series so I decided to mark this occasion by asking colleagues at the Trust and at an international library conference in Frankfurt if they might contribute a reading of Shakespeare’s most iconic speech in a range of European languages.
