Hello and welcome to my first ever Sunday interview podcast. Expect this to be a regular, indeed weekly, feature on my blog. Today?s Sunday interview is with Aurora Humarán (@AMHumaran) , the owner of the Aleph translation agency in Buenos Aires and since September 30 this year also founding chairwoman of the AIPTI - a new association for translators and interpreters.
How the new association is coming along;
Why she decided she needed to create a new association;
Why it wasn?t enough to just continue with her popular NdT internet forums;
What the ethical basis for the AIPTI is;
How she sees the AIPTI as being different from existing translation associations such as the American Translators' Association or the Insitutute of Translation and Interpreting;
How she managed to convince such illustrious linguists as Noam Chomsky and Valentín García Yebra to become honorary members;
What she thinks about globalisation, big translation agencies and trends in the translation world;
