I loved the session on interpreting with a tablet and also the one about the Burmese language. I took the time to review my Proz profile too! Thanks for your professionalism!

Thank you very much to all the people who collaborated in such a way to made possible this event! It was excellent!
I am very pleased to have attended some of the conferences; I learnt a lot and also was inspired by listening about new tools and tendencies to be used in the translation area.

Insightful event


While not being able to attend each session for obvious reasons (I am thinking of taking a day off next year!), what I saw and heard being discussed was extremely useful for all translators. Thanks for organising this interesting and relevant event, and for the possibility of downloading individual presentations on demand!
