I attended the 7th Portsmouth Translation Conference on Saturday. The programme was really varied with something for even the most allergic of conference-goers. A one-day event, with an informative range of speakers, interesting delegates, and a lovely venue – what more could a translator ask for?
Next year’s theme is The Changing Face of Translation (the call for papers was released at the weekend by the way). If this year’s conference was anything to go by, it promises be a really practical insight into the realities of life as a practicing translator. Highly recommended.
