Previous events: Welsh Terminology You are invited to attend a seminar to discuss the field of Welsh terminology which is to be held on 30 October 2007 in the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth. This half day seminar will begin at 11am and will continue over lunch into the afternoon. The seminar is an opportunity to gather together specialists working in the field, translators and those who need standardised terminology to facilitate the use of Welsh in their field of work. In establishing itself as the national body to co-ordinate the standardisation of terms and place-names, the Welsh Language Board is keen to provide a forum for activity in this key field and to raise awareness of the different projects which are being conducted in an array of subject fields. There will be an opportunity to hear about some of the latest projects and developments in the field of Welsh terminology. Presentations will be given by translators from the Welsh Assembly Government Translation Service, Canolfan Bedwyr and representatives from the Board itself along with other individuals and organisations involved in the field. The seminar will also be an opportunity to discuss some of those considerations involved with the use and standardisation of terminology and also the use of new terms on a more practical level when translating and working through the medium of Welsh. There will also be an opportunity to discuss setting priorities for the work of standardising terminology in the future in a field that is central to ensuring the use of Welsh in new and innovative fields. We would be very glad if you could join us in Aberystwyth. You are also welcome to extend this invitation to other individuals who you believe would be interested in attending. Our hope is that as many people as possible will be able to attend in order to ensure that the discussions are fruitful and are representative of those working in the field. If you wish to attend the seminar, please send an e-mail to the address below by 15 October 2007 noting if you will wish to use simultaneous translation facilities. A full programme for the seminar will be sent to you soon, but in the meantime you are welcome to contact us for more information by using the same e-mail address. Yours sincerely Lowri W.

to those entering the profession and advice not only to those who offer
language services but also to their customers. Membership ITI
has a large and growing international membership of translators and interpreters,

countries where English is commonly used. Different levels of membership
are on offer to suit translators and interpreters with varying amounts
of experience, from newcomers to the industry to experienced professionals. Members
are required to abide by the Institute's professional code of conduct.
They will be expected to subscribe to ITI's aims and are encouraged to
take an active part in its life and events. Corporate membership is also
