The famed Chinese translator of the Harry Potter series recently filed suits against two domestic publishing companies claiming they published books that copied her translated works or used her name without permission.

At a press conference held on July 26, Ma Ainong said that she saw a book called Anne of Green Gables at a bookstore last year that was labeled as being published by the China Women's Publishing House and translated by Zhou Li.

She found the book to be "90 percent similar" to her own version published much earlier by People's Literature Publishing House. She said she translated the work in 1986 together with her grandfather Ma Qinghuai, a senior translator of the Commercial Press.
