Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Translation (PPA) is a bi-annual conference,
which was first held in 1984 through the initiatives of the Malaysian
Translators Association (MTA) and the Institute of Language and Literature
(DBP). PPA came to be due to the awareness that translation is an
indispensable communication medium in knowledge transfer and would therefore
contribute significantly to a nation’s development.

This 16th International Translation Conference will be held at Crystal Crown
Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia from the 8 - 10 of August, 2017. The Faculty of
Languages and Linguistics and the Academy of Malay Studies, University of
Malaya will co-host this conference with the support of the following
co-organizers: Malaysian Translators Association (MTA), Malaysian Institute of
Translation and Books (ITBM), the Institute of Language and Literature (DBP)
and Perbadanan Kota Buku (PKB).
 
The 16th International Conference on Translation aims to: 

- Inspire intellectual and professional discourse, with the aim to explore
current theories, techniques, issues, perspectives, practices, research and
accreditation in the translation field. 
- Enhance the cooperation and collaboration between translator scholars and
students of Translation Studies and  practitioners in the translation
industry.  
- Consolidate translator training and reinforce the synergy of training in
real professional settings. 
- Intensify the awareness among all participants in the translation service of
the value of translation in a society.
