Relationships between countries have become increasingly complex and broad in scope. Communications among industries and fields of specialization have also become closer and more frequent. Under these circumstances, the importance of translation has been increasingly recognized. It is therefore necessary to respond to demands for translation work quickly and accurately, and to ensure top quality in translation.
Japan Translation Association (JTA) was founded with the goal of researching and developing translation skills, training translators, and conducting examinations and certifications related to translation. We also strive to improve the reputation of the translation industry, and contribute to cultural and economic development by promoting the translation industry.
