This Special Interest Group focuses on translation and interpreting, and teaching those skills. Literary translation is a primary interest of many who work in the Japanese language field; but there is also interest in the work of translating other types of materials from and to Japanese as well as that of interpreting between Japanese and English. These days, translators and interpreters also need to consider AI, which can be seen as a potential threat that will put translators out of work or as a source of exciting opportunities for innovation.
Translating and Interpreting Survey
We are interested in organizing workshops, panels, and conversations that are most relevant to the members of AATJ. Even if you have not actively thought about “translation &/or interpreting,” your response will greatly add to our understanding of how we can generate plans that are most meaningful to AATJ members. Please help us understand better and also to serve your interests and needs. Thank you in advance for participating in the survey. Thank you also to Yuri Kumagai and Mayumi Matsumoto for helping with the survey and providing valuable comments. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
