E117: What is the International Federation of Translators (FIT)?

In this episode of the ATA Podcast, Andie Ho brings on Ted Wozniak to talk about the International Federation of Translators (FIT). FIT is an association of translation associations with global representation through their regional centres, and Ted explains how this relates to ATA and our members. From education to celebration, FIT supports the professions by hosting congress events, online education and resources, and International Translation Day. Overall, FIT is the federation of professional associations of interpreters, translators, and terminologists, and their goal is to promote professionalism in the disciplines they represent. FIT seeks to improve conditions for the professions in all countries and to uphold translators’ rights and freedom of expression through building community, visibility, and a sustainable future for the professions.
