РусскийTFR 2025 Call For Papers
Translation Forum Russia 2025 is opening the CALL FOR PAPERS!
The Forum is a meeting place for professionals who are aware of today’s challenges and know how to organize working in this or that situation and how to find specialists in this or that type and field of translation.
Yet, we are always eager to learn how colleagues in the neighbouring regions work, what instruments they use, who prepares what, as well as what one needs to become a professional in demand.
Possibly (and most likely), there are common problems we can’t solve on our own. We could at least try and find the solution – or maybe it already exists?
As before, the schedule is for three days from August 15 to August 17. It is going to include topics regarding all types of participants in conventional treks.
Here are some ideas：
- Mastering translation: new demands and trends
– AI as the main threat to the translator’s career. Is it so? What we should be worried about and look out for
– How does one become a literary translator? Is co-authoring accepted in literary translation?
– Technical and document translation: something of a routine or something that keeps you on your toes?
– ‘Instruction and enlightenment’ of possible translation consumers in the wake of AI
– The role of public organizations in educating translators about the profession and means of legal protection
- Translation as a business and sectoral self-organization issues
– Successful cases of expanding to new markets. What should be considered when entering a new market
– New types of services as a way to adapt to the new normal
– Payment methods and forms when dealing with foreign contractors
