The Japan Association of Translators is pleased to announce a workshop to be held in Brisbane on Friday 4, September 2015.

The JAT activities will start with an informal networking lunch at the Pizza Caffe on the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland.

Next, veteran translator Tony Atkinson will lead a hands-on workshop on solving some commonly-encountered problems in Japanese-English translation. JAT members and non-members welcome!
After the workshop, participants are welcome to join the dinner event at The Boatshed in Coronation Drive, starting at 17:30.

JAT members and other participants who have time in the morning are also cordially invited to attend a Live Interpreting Forum in which final-year students in the Master of Arts in Japanese Interpreting and Translation (MAJIT) course will provide consecutive and simultaneous interpreting. This is a valuable opportunity to see interpreting in action by the professionals of the future.
