About Us
Welcome! We’re delighted that you’ve stepped into the world of translation. Wishing you great success and enjoyable endeavors ahead.
ASSOCIATION OF ALL TRANSLATORS AND TRANSLATION AGENCIES
Our homeland, Turkey, needs to communicate with the countries with which it interacts in many areas, especially in trade, education and socio-cultural areas. There are thousands of languages spoken in every country in the world in addition to official languages. Due to the number of languages, people need professional linguists, namely translators, for communication.
The Association of All Translators and Translation Agencies was founded after individual translators and translation businesses came together on social media, WhatsApp and other communication groups, and after long discussions on the problems and principles of the profession, decided to gather under one roof to announce the importance and value of the translation profession as a voice, and to ensure the formation of a common mind to set international standards, especially national standards on working conditions and professional rules.
The Association of All Translators and Translation Agencies, which defends that translation is not just the translation of dictionaries, aims to bring together translators and translation agencies who are knowledgeable and dedicated about context and culture, which are the most important cornerstones of translation, to ensure professional solidarity and develop the professional standards needed.
The association, which was established in a short period of time with the support of translators and translation agencies, has been working to increase the respect and values of the translation profession while ensuring the solidarity and unity of its members since its first day of activity.
