Many universities around the world compete in offering ambitious postgraduate translation studies programs, where aspiring and professional translators are promised a solid grounding in translation theory. But what is translation theory and what are its origins?

This webinar will highlight the importance of theory and training in translation practices that will help translators in their day-to-day professional practices. Furthermore, a panel of experts will discuss whether translation internships, apprenticeships, or relevant experience could ever take the place of academic qualifications.
