As part of Lingua Tech's commitment to promote good translation practices and stay abreast of the most current translation strategies and concepts, the company participated in the FIT 5th Asian Translators Forum 2007 hosted by Himpunan Penerjemah Indonesia/The Association of Indonesian Translators at Bogor, Indonesia on 11-12 April 2007.
The theme of this 5th Asian Translators Forum is "Translation and Cultural Dialogue". More than 200 participants attended the forum, which comprised largely of professional translators, interpreters, linguists, teachers and scholars from Indonesia and various countries such as the US, U.K., United Arab Emirate, Iran, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Japan, People's Republic of China, Australia, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore and Korea.
The participants presented and discussed their views on a variety of topics covering Translation in Cultural Activities, Translation and Cultural Differences, Transfer of Technology in Translation, Translator and Interpretation Training, and Translation of Literary works, etc.
