2018 is the 5th year of The Translation Challenge in the UK – and the first year in Turkey. This event has been the starting point for many of today’s commercial translators. There are four partners in the Translation Challenge; the University, the student translators, the sponsor and the organiser.
The aim is to engage students who are studying translation at university and give them the experience of being a translator in the world of commerce and industry. The students work in teams with different team members taking on specific responsibilities.
TTC wetranslate, as a company that has been in business for around three decades, and that has translators around the world who can translate into more than 100 languages and three project offices in the UK, Turkey and Australia, runs this Challenge.
We’ve been lucky to have some amazing sponsors – and the challenge is far from an academic exercise. Our sponsors provide a live project for the students to work on, the resulting translations from the Challenge are put to work in their business.
