Henry and staff,
Looks like an excellent source of information, as one can expect from ProZ. Thanks again for the hard work.

Thanks,
Rubén

I would not include them into this directory, at least, before getting some credible information on their status first.

| List of ATA's approved T&I Schools | Jun 27, 2004 |
Hello Henry,
Following is the link to the ATA's list of approved T&I schools worldwide. I attended Florida International University http://w3.fiu.edu/translation/. Anyone who has obtained a Certificate in Translation from an institution which does not appear on this list should contact the ATA to have it included if it meets their criteria. The information is at the bottom of this page.

You might want to add this under 'Translation and Interpreting Schools': Johannes Gutenberg University in Germersheim, Germany (www.fask.uni-mainz.de).
Thanks for setting up this list. It looks great! And I am sure it will be very helpful to many of us here.
Wow, that was fast! Thanks for the quick update.
