The Slovenian Association of Literary Translators (DSKP) has honoured Hungarian translator Judit Reiman with the 2026 Lavrin Diploma, an annual award presented by DSKP in recognition of exceptional achievements in translation and commitment to championing Slovenian literature beyond its borders.

As stated in the award citation, Judit Reiman is an exceptional and versatile mediator of Slovenian culture in Hungary. Through her wide-ranging activities across numerous fields, her profound understanding of diverse cultural currents and codes, her deep knowledge of the structural particularities of both languages, and her familiarity with cultural references, her dedication to translation over the past forty years has gone far beyond the bounds of mere professional commitment.

A selection of translations from Slovenian by Judit Reiman can be found in our database of translations.

Named in honour of Janko Lavrin (1887–1986), a distinguished translator, literary historian and essayist, the award has been presented annually since 2003. The list of previous recipients is available here.
