Vers le milieu de l'année 2011, le Ministère fédéral de la Justice autrichienne compte organiser ses services d'interprétation, pour plusieurs langues, en interne, au sein de deux grandes juridictions viennoises, faisant intervenir à cet effet une agence de services.

LUSPIO University in Rome is pleased to announce a new Master’s in Legal Interpreting and Translation (English - Italian) starting in February 2011.

Le 26 novembre 2009, l’Association européenne d’Interprètes et Traducteurs juridiques (EULITA) a été fondée dans le site du tribunal de première instance d’Anvers. Depuis lors, 14 associations professionnelles d’interprètes et traducteurs juridiques de 12 États membres de l’Union Européenne (Autriche, Belgique, République tchèque Allemagne, Finlande, France, Pays-Bas, Pologne, Roumanie, Espagne, Suède et Royaume-Uni) sont devenues membres actifs d’EULITA. Les 20 membres associés incluent 2 organisations européennes (le Forum Européen des Interprètes en Langues des Signes – EFSLI et l’ONG Fair Trials International, basée au Royaume-Uni), 2 organisations d’interprètes et traducteurs, 3 universités et les 13 membres individuels, originaires de pays situés hors de l’Union Européenne tels la Chine les États-Unis et la Colombie.

The annual conference of the European Forum of Sign Language Interpreters (efsli) is taking place in Vietri sul Mare, Italy, on 17 & 18 September 2011. The topic of the conference is “Sight Translation - Sight Interpreting - Meeting at the Cross Modes",  Sign language interpreters as translators. The deadline for the submission of papers is January 30th, 2011. For more information: www.efsli2011.org.

This conference seeks to explore the role of interpreters in legal and police contexts, share current research, and identify much needed further research and training needs. We invite expressions of interest for papers.

Due to professional commitments Gun-Viol Vik-Tuovinen resigned as Secretary of EULITA. The Finnish Interpreters and Translators Association SKTL, which had nominated her for the transitional Executive Committee last November, proposed Kristiina Antinjuntti as her successor until EULITA’s general assembly in March 2011. The Executive Committee co-opted the nominee by electronic vote.

Kristiina Antinjuntti is an experienced interpreter and translator who, amongst others, has worked for the Nordic Council of Ministers, as well as the Finnish and Swedish EU Presidency.

The tradition of the international conferences organized by the FIT Committee for Legal Translation and Court Interpreting will be continued by the tenth international which will be held in Paris from 19 to 21 May 2011. Please read the Call for Papers here.

In 2001, the First International Conference on Quality in Conference Interpreting took place in Almuñecar, a small village on the southern coast of Spain.

The 2011 conference on quality will have a broader focus, in order to encompass all modalities of language interpretation (conference interpreting, public-service interpreting, sign-language interpreting, etc.).

The purpose is to bring together researchers, professionals and students of interpreting for fruitful discussion.
