Meeting Description:

The 2017 conference theme ''Translating the Wor(l)d: Beyond Language''
reflects upon the fact that translation has become a major communication
modality of the post-modern globalized world. The conference aims at mapping
the landscape of this specific human activity by exploring the increasing
complexity of language communication. 

The featured invited speakers for TIFO 2017 are Franz Pöchhacker (University
of Vienna) and Aline Remael (University of Antwerp). 

Conference sections are suggested as follows:

- Translator's and interpreter's role and ethics in global/local communication
- Formative aspects of the profession: developing inclinations, aptitudes, and
skills 
- Quality throughout the translation/interpreting process 
- Crossing language borders: a major challenge, or a source of inspiration?
- Translation technology, its position, requirements, and benefits
- Translating literature as a way to the knowledge of the world


Call for Papers:

We welcome BOTH papers presenting results of academic research AND
contributions by professionals in the field. The invitation to participate is
extended to all parties concerned: academics (teachers and students),
professional translators and interpreters, trade organisations and
professional institutions, publishing houses, agencies providing language
services, ''in-house'' language departments of transnational corporations,
companies developing support tools and technology, et cetera.

It is possible to apply with a paper, presentation or poster. To accommodate
numerous requests, we are making a 2nd call for papers with the deadline for
abstracts extended to September 1, 2017. Notifications of acceptance will be
sent out by September 10, 2017. For further details see the registration form.
  
Selected papers are to be published in a peer-reviewed thematic volume, as a
special issue of Czech and Slovak Linguistic Review journal. Publications from
previous TIFO conferences are available here: 2014, 2012, 2011. See also OMLM
