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.

the value of translation in a society.
