A booming market for words and translations

An article recently published in Swiss newspaper Berner Zeitung refers to Chinese publishing as a mysterious "Black Box" lacking channels to get information and feedback.

It also mentions that the huge market, in which "50,000 copies sold is the minimum number to be called a best-seller", presents many opportunities for foreign publishers.

"Harry Potter's financial gains in the Chinese market are like a dream to Swiss writers who also have been published in Chinese," according to the article.
