Preparations for IJET-24 in Honolulu are well underway, and now it's time to start thinking about 2014 and beyond.

Last year, we held the Eighth Annual Contest for New and Aspiring Translators. Every year, a group of screeners and judges help to narrow the entries and decide the winners.  We would like to establish a committee similar to those we have for other JAT activities.

Well known in manufacturing, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is looking to draw up standards for translation and the translation industry. Because these may well directly affect JAT members, we think JAT should be part of the effort.

To celebrate International Translation Day on September 30, we are considering publishing an anthology on translation.
