The project’s broader areas of interest include: methodological issues of writing translator biographies; the curation and processing of translators’ archival estates; the methodological challenges of writing translation history; the traces of translation in institutional archives; and the translation programs of world literature book series and literary journals. Within the project, the Hungarian Historical Lexicon of Literary Translators—abbreviated as FordLEX—is being developed. It is a digital knowledge base that aims to map and revisit the history of Hungarian literary translation through translators’ life trajectories, decisions, and mediating roles. The lexicon contains biographical, thematic, and institutional entries, along with structured data and a systematically organized bibliography linked to the entries. FordLEX is an open, continuously expanding, scholarly edited lexicon based on linked relational data.Open Encyclopedia System (OES), 2.4.0Zotero, 7.0.26All databases consulted are publicly accessible. To obtain the list of translators recorded in the Hungarian National Namespace, we sought assistance from the National Library’s Digitális Filológiai és Webarchiválási Osztály (Department of Digital Philology and Web Archiving), the resource’s provider and maintainer, which furnished a script-generated extract.MagyarországNemzeti Kutatási, Fejlesztési és Innovációs Hivatal (NKFI)150848
