Currently we are in great need of ENGLISH>ICELANDIC EMA SUBMISSIONS resources. If you have any experience in this content and language pair, please contact me! But only contact me if you have experience with ICELANDIC; I will post any other languages we may need at a later time, until then, please do not send useless messages. We ask for resources with the following qualifications:

* At least 2 years’ experience with medical translation
* At least 2 years’ experience with EMA Submission materials
* Strong familiarity with EMA QRD templates
* The ability to use Track Changes feature in Microsoft Word

Aðalfundur ÞOT 16. maí

 

 

Aðalfundur Bandalags þýðenda og túlka verður haldinn í Gunnarshúsi, húsi Rithöfundasambands Íslands að Dyngjuvegi 8, miðvikudaginn 16. maí  kl. 20.

Á dagskrá eru venjuleg aðalfundarstörf, skýrsla stjórnar, samþykkt reikninga og stjórnarkjör. Kjósa þarf tvo stjórnarmenn að þessu sinni. Haraldur Jóhannsson ritari og Gunnhildur Stefánsdóttir meðstjórnandi hafa ákveðið að gefa ekki kost á sér til áframhaldandi stjórnarsetu svo ljóst er að nýtt fólk mun koma inn í stjórnina. Framboð í stjórn hafa borist og verða kynnt á fundinum.

 

,,Gleymskan hefur gleypt stærri bita en íslenska menningu"

Jón Kalman Stefánsson rithöfundur fjallar í Fréttatímanum 27. apríl um gildi þýðinga, gildi þýðinga íslenskra bókmennta yfir á önnur tungumál. Heilsíðugrein, bls. 38.

Gyrðir Elíasson hreppti hnossið með ,,Tunglið braust inn í húsið"

Bandalag þýðenda og túlka gerir verðlaunaafhendingunni skil.
