Submitting Hymns in Latvian

Copy & paste this page into an e-mail & fill in the blanks. We can’t promise to put every submission online, but we do promise to look at them.

Copyrights

If the hymn is copyrighted, you must first get the copyright owner’s written permission for us to post it. Please include contact information for the copyright owner so we can verify permissions.

New, Unpublished Translations

If the hymn is not a translation to Latvian from another language, or if it has already been published, you can skip this section. This section applies only to new translations not previously published.

1. Translations should be poetic not literal. That is, they should have rhyme, and should be singable to music.
2. Because we do not speak Latvian, we cannot evaluate translation quality ourselves. Therefore, we request:
   • The translation must be by a Christian who is a native Latvian speaker.
   • Before sending us a translation, have it reviewed by one or more other Christians who are native Latvian speakers.
