OVER 25 YEARS COMMITTED TO MULTILINGUALISM

The Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union is an agency of the European Union. Established in Luxembourg in 1994, its main mission is to provide translation and related language services to the other decentralised EU agencies. It may also assist those EU institutions and bodies which have their own translation services when there are workload peaks or for specific projects. In total, the Centre translates for almost 70 clients. At the end of 2020, it had a total of 220 staff members, including officials, temporary agents and contract staff. TELL ME MORE

8th Translation Contact Network

Some 65 representatives from 33 EU Agencies, Institutions and other bodies attended the Centre’s 8th annual Translation Contact Network, which was held online on 21 March 2023. This time, the focus was on the Centre’s multi-engine machine translation strategy and related quality assurance, ELA’s translation workflow involving national authorities, and good practice-sharing in the area of request and feedback management.

Meeting ELA’s national translation coordinators

Meeting ELA’s national translation coordinators

On 16 February, two representatives from the Centre met the European Labour Authority (ELA) and its national translation coordinators to review the functioning of the ELA Translation Facility. This Facility consists of a workflow that enables Member State authorities to create translation requests on the Centre’s Client Portal for texts complying with predefined eligibility criteria, and the ELA is able to validate these requests and control the budget consumption per Member State.

DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality

Every year, on 8 March, countries around the world celebrate International Women’s Day to recognise women’s achievements and to defend their rights, regardless of their national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political background.
