While Thoughts on Translation is enjoying some time off this August, the translation industry is still booming with news! I’m especially excited to announce that the inaugural issue of ATA’s new client outreach publication, the ATA Compass, is now available here. The Compass is a periodic publication for people who buy language services, and I’m excited to be part of the team that produced it. Big thanks to Andrea Ondak of Anglocom who suggested the winning name for the newsletter, and to Lillian Clementi and Chris Durban who are the real powerhouses behind this first issue!
ATA should contact the Canadian mounties to recommend them the services of licensed translators and save them the problems they endured from relying on Google Translate http://www.articlesbase.com/international-business-articles/canadian-police-pays-3000-per-day-for-relying-on-google-translate-2994095.html
Congratulations on creating the Compass — great job. We will be sure to link to it often, and I will make copies to hand out at our next regional association meeting so more folks here about it and can use it as an educational tool for their clients. Great job!
