LATAR BELAKANG

Persidangan Penterjemahan Antarabangsa (PPA) merupakan persidangan dwitahunan, kali pertamanya diadakan pada 1984 dengan inisiatif Persatuan Penterjemah Malaysia (PPM) dan Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) atas kesedaran terhadap peri pentingnya penterjemahan dalam usaha pemindahan ilmu pengetahuan.

Penterjemahan merupakan wahana komunikasi ilmu yang utama bagi membina kemajuan negara, bangsa dan agama bukan sahaja di Malaysia, malah di seluruh dunia, lebih-lebih lagi dalam era globalisasi dan dunia tanpa sempadan. Justeru, tujuan mengadakan persidangan di peringkat antarabangsa ini adalah bagi memupuk pertukaran gagasan, ilmu, pengalaman, dan pada masa yang sama mempererat kerjasama dalam kalangan para ilmuan, ahli bahasa, penterjemah, penulis, penerbit, editor, pengajar dan pelajar di seluruh dunia bagi meninjau ilmu, teori, teknik yang terkini dalam bidang penterjemahan yang berkaitan demi meningkatkan kualiti terjemahan secara menyeluruh.

Mulai tahun 1993, iaitu bagi PPA-4, Institut Terjemahan Negara Malaysia Berhad (ITNMB) turut menganjur bersama persidangan yang berkenaan di samping salah sebuah Institusi Pengajian Tinggi (IPT) yang bertindak sebagai ‘tuan rumah’. Persidangan kali ini akan dianjur bersama dengan Universiti Tekonologi MARA (UiTM).

Objektif

Persidangan kali ini bertujuan:

· Menggalakkan pertukaran pendapat dan pengalaman dalam bidang penterjemahan yang akan membawa kepada kecemerlangan akademik dan kerjasama pada peringkat antarabangsa;

· Merangsang wacana intelektual dan profesional; dengan harapan untuk bersemuka dengan teori terkini, teknik, isu, perspektif, amalan, penyelidikan dan pengiktirafan dalam bidang penterjemahan;

· Membuka peluang kepada penemuan baru dan pendekatan alternatif dalam bidang penterjemahan;

· Mempererat dan memperkukuh kerjasama dalam kalangan penterjemah dalam dunia akademik dan profesional; dan

Message from AITI

TWO EXCEPTIONAL EVENTS THIS AUTUMN TO CELEBRATE AITI’S 60TH ANNIVERSARY

This year’s anniversary assumes special significance at this particular time of political ferment with regard to the issues surrounding professions.

EVENT 1

30 September 2010, the feast day of St Jerome, patron saint of translators, dedicated each year to World Translation Day:

ROMA - Centro Congressi Cavour – from 9am to 2pm, approximately

AITI 1950-2010 - Translators and Interpreters

Professionals serving the people, the economy and the institutions

The conference focuses mainly on the figures of INSTITUTIONAL and COURT Translators/Interpreters, and on the gap between the importance of this role, the responsibilities it includes and the problems encountered by professionals as they go about their daily business. Italian institutions on one hand make extensive use of these professional figures but, conversely, continue to exclude them from any form of protection and recognition, and in the specific case of the court translator/interpreter, also from access to appropriate remuneration.

A wide range of prominent figures were invited to make qualified presentations and we have speakers of the calibre of Angelo Deiana (president of CoLAP’s scientific committee and expert in the economics of knowledge and the professions); MP Pierluigi Mantini, who is very active in the context of recognition of the professions; Davide Imola, who runs the CGIL council for professionals; Prof. Federica Scarpa, who teaches Language and Translation at the University of Trieste; Judge Rosario Priore; journalist Giovanni Fasanella. We are expecting further confirmations from high officials and other leading judicial figures.

EVENT 2

7 October 2010

MILAN - Sala Guicciardini, under the patronage of Milan Provincial Council – from 9am to 2pm, approximately

AITI 1950-2010 - 60 years of commitment to translators and interpreters

2010-Future Inclusion and recognition of the profession

The theme will concentrate more specifically on reform projects for the professions and recognition of associations like our own. Confirmed participants include Paolo Tosato, Veneto Regional Councillor, who will speak about the statute of the self-employed worker.

Both events are open to members and to the general public.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

On the international scenario AITI is not only a well-established founder member of FIT, the international federation of translators, but also co-founder of CEATL (European Council of Literary Translator Associations). On the national scenario AITI has participated in the CNEL council for non-regulated professions, the joint commission for drawing up UNI 10574 standards for quality certification of translation and interpreting businesses. The association has also been part of the nucleus of experts nominated by the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) to revise translation and interpreting course curricula as part of university reform, and is currently a member of the MIUR technical commission for recognition of qualifications in linguistic mediation. Moreover, AITI is a member of CoLAP, as well as a founder member of the network of freelance professional associations founded in Milan, and also contributes to the CGIL council of professions.

Despite all this commitment, Italy’s translators and interpreters continue to be “invisible” professionals, who go unregulated and unrecognized.

For this reason and with an eye to the future, AITI intends to confirm itself as the point of reference for translation and interpreting professionals, pursuing two objectives: inclusion in and establishment of a professional status.
