荷兰翻译学会

  NGTV members are kept informed of developments within the Society through the NGTV newsletter. Published monthly and for internal use only, the newsletter contains information such as announcements of NGTV activities, e.g. meetings, conferences and workshops. The various committees and local and regional groups also regularly publish information on meetings. Besides the newsletter, the NGTV also publishes a quarterly journal, Linguaan, to update members on general issues concerning the profession of translation and interpreting. Both publications are free of charge for members; non-members may subscribe to the quarterly.

  Individual members can meet one another at the local and regional meetings. There are currently 10 regional and two language-related (Polish and Turkish) groups. NGTV members automatically become members of a regional group. Each group organizes meetings on a regular basis – often on a specific theme. Meetings are also held mainly for the purpose of establishing and maintaining contacts between fellow translators. Networking is after all very important in our profession.

  As a professional organization, the NGTV organizes a number of activities on a yearly basis which are accessible to all members and which relate to a specific aspect of the profession. These take the form of workshops or seminars and are organized by the various sections. In 2001 for example, the literary section organized a presentation about translating children's books, and the scientific-technical section conducted a workshop on the subject of translation tools. Sessions are also held for new translators, to address the problems they are likely to encounter early in their career.

  The NGTV also provides a number of support services for its members: a debt collection service, legal advice and assistance and the option of ordering special paper for sworn translations.

  The Society is affiliated to a number of organizations. These are SNEVT (a national foundation examination board for translators and interpreters), Raad voor het Vrije Beroep (Council of Liberal Professions) and MetaCom (Dutch Federation for Multilingual Communication). The NGTV is a member of the international umbrella organization for the profession, Fédération Internationale des Traducteurs (www.fit-ift.org)
