The translator of the novel is also awarded £1,000. The award was first given in 2006, and was partly concevied in order to acknowledge the contribution of the translator. The first winner was French author Fred Vargas for her novel The Three Evangelists, translated by Siân Reynolds. She won the award the following year also. In 2009 the prize was renamed the International Dagger and won by Fred Vargas and Siân Reynolds for the third time.
