The AALITRA Review(ISSN 1838-1294) is a peer-reviewed academic journal that focuses on the theory and practice of literary translation. It was established in March 2010 by the Australian Association for Literary Translation (AALITRA), a non-for-profit Australian organization that promotes the visibility and importance of literary translation in Australia and beyond.
Published biannually, The AALITRA Review seeks to foster a community of literary translators and contribute to intellectual debates surrounding the complexities of translating literary texts. Embedded in Australia's multicultural ethos, it publishes articles, translations, interviews, book reviews and translators’ diaries written in English.

Current editors, Emerita Professor Hélène Jaccomard, University of Western Australia, and Eliza Nicoll, Monash University, are academics, literary critics and translators of French and Japanese respectively.
