The Translators and Interpreters Practice Lab, better known as TIP-Lab, is offering its 18th Spanish Translation/Revision Workshop, specially designed and tailored for professionals working in any country of the world who translate from English into Spanish. It will run from July through December 2008.

Texts translated by the participants will be reviewed by Leandro Wolfson, a nationally known translator from Argentina who specializes in human and social sciences, and returned to the participants with revisions and annotated comments.

The workshop will cover general interest topics with no particular focus on specialized terminology or subject matter. Only applicants with extensive translation experience and full (native or highly proficient) command of Spanish (written form) and English (comprehension) will be accepted. For evaluation of their proficiency, applicants must submit a short narrative in Spanish (approximately 250 words) in which they describe their professional training and activities and the reason why they want to participate.

The American Translators Association has approved the workshop for continuing education (CE) credits. The Harvie Jordan Foundation is offering five $100 scholarships to qualified AATIA members.

Workshop fee is US$250 per participant (US$30 non-refundable administrative fee included in this amount). Registration deadline is Monday, June 16, 2008. We encourage AATIA members to register by March 1, since registrations will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis until the quota is filled.
