The IATIS Comp@ss :: IATIS News

Open Gate, the NEW Journal from Dr-maria.com provides an excellent forum for the exchange and debate of ideas, practices and research as these emerge or change.
Open Gate welcomes contributions of articles about all aspects of translation /interpreting and issues. Launch issue will be out in September 2008.

Each issue of Open Gate will be divided in two parts: the “Featured Articles” and “In Every Issue” contributions.
The “Featured Articles” will have a special focus which will always be announced beforehand.
“In Every Issue” columns you can write about one of the following: “Looking at the World”, “Translator’s viewpoints”, “Educator’s viewpoints”, “Your voice”, and “Any good books?”

We are now accepting proposals
for the issue of November 2008.: The special focus for this issue is: “Translation at Work: Professional aspects of Translation?”

Questions to be addressed include -but are not limited to- : How is the translator viewed by the rest of the world? What is the translator status in your field of work, company or country?
Is the translator visible or invisible as a professional? Who is and who should be working as translator/interpreter? Liability: is it yours or the employers’? Is it good practice to be a registered
member of an organization? Where does your duty start and end? How can one prepare students to face real life translation work?

Deadline for abstract submissions: 15th September 2008 to journal@dr-maria.com

Deadline for completed contribution submission:
15th October 2008.

Do share your views and experiences with us and do not miss the first issue of Open Gate.
It will be available on-line from the 15th of September 2008 and is a special issue dedicated to the Translation Clinic Scholarships and Awards.
