Translator accuses British Museum of unauthorized use of her work.

The British Museum has removed translations from its exhibition, China’s Hidden Century, after a translator alleged that their work had been used without permission, credit or payment. Yilin Wang, the translator, claimed that her translations of Chinese poet Qiu Jin’s poems were included in the exhibition without her permission or credit. The museum has apologized and offered financial payment to Wang, stating that the lack of permissions and acknowledgment for her translations was an “unintentional human error”.
