What is GITA?
The “Global Internet Translators Association” (GITA) was founded at the beginning of 2009. GITA aimed to incorporate modern media into the translation industry and thereby set itself the target of building an optimal framework for translation to be carried out online.
GITA advocates further research and training in the field of online translation, and represents a central point of contact for translators, customers and other interested parties. GITA works alongside various institutions from the translation and new media (internet) sectors to put the vision of enabling translators to use the internet as a working platform into practice.
The function of the organization is to represent the interests of it members. GITA is open to the revision and expansion its aims to encompass new translation issues as long as they are appropriate and conducive to its purpose.
GITA welcomes translators and translation agencies who identify with its aim and would like to work with GITA to realize and further develop this concept.
