My organisation
The voice of associations of translators, interpreters and terminologists around the world.
FIT is the federation of professional associations of interpreters, translators, and terminologists working in areas as diverse as literary, scientific and technical spheres, the public service, court and legal settings, conference interpreting, media and diplomatic fields and academia. The goal of the Federation is to promote professionalism in the disciplines it represents.
