Ms Elmerot's presentation will contrast the working environment within the European Union and its 20 official languages to the U.S. model, licensing of translators, the emphasis on quality, where to find translation agencies in Europe, and how payment is handled by translation companies, clients and translators on the other side of the pond.

TOPIC STARTER
Event cancelled Jul 30, 2006

I have just been notified by MATI this event has been cancelled "due to the fact that unexpected severe Amtrak train travel delays will not permit the guest speaker to arrive in Chicago until well over the scheduled finishing time for the session".

I will post again if the event is rescheduled.
