2008 Conference: A success!

.

NETA’s conference is planned and run solely by volunteers, who devote countless hours to the effort. We seek to provide a variety-filled, professionally stimulating day. We have sessions for beginners and experienced linguists. We make a point to balance sessions for translators with presentations for interpreters. This year’s outstanding program included topics such as:

  • Medical Translation and Localization - Download this presentation here.

  • Professional Protocols for Interpreters
  • Current and Future Trends in Machine Translation
  • Language-Neutral Commentary on Miranda Rights for the LEP Population - Download this presentation here

  • Challenges in Translating Poetry- Download the handouts here

  • Current Legislation on Access to Language Services in Health Care
  • Terminology Management - Download this presentation here.
  • Computer Hardware and software tips for translators
  • Stress Management

  • As always, NETA’s annual conference offers a complete educational program. There were both lecture-style sessions and workshops with an emphasis on practical skills that can be put to use immediately. We also had a good number of vendors, and ample opportunities for networking.

    NETA takes pride in its premier event and encourages you to join us next year.

    If you are interested in helping out in any way, please send an e-mail to conferenceinformation@netaweb.org. We welcome your assistance and participation.

    In addition, a sitting of the ATA Certification exam  is customarily scheduled for the following day.
