“OPTIMALE” – Optimising professional translator training in a multilingual Europe – is a network of 70 partners from 32 countries, funded by the European Commission, which cooperates with European language services and professional language industry associations to enhance the quality and relevance of translator training in higher education across Europe. For more information on the project, please visit our website at: www.translator-training.eu.
The purpose of the “Optimale Declaration” is to reassert the continuing need for high level, professionally-relevant translator training in a rapidly evolving economic, technological and academic context. It sets out the principles, objectives and conditions that we feel are required to ensure that European businesses and institutions can continue to find the high level multilingual professionals they need to promote their interests and their image on the world stage.
