Call for Submissions: Book on Translation and Interpretation Research
The Language Training & Testing Center (LTTC) is now accepting submissions from authors who
presented papers at the 2012 LTTC International Conference, The Making of a Translator.
The conference received high acclaim for its overall organization and its quality presentations by
eminent scholars in translation and interpretation (T&I). To share the outcomes with the larger T&I
community, the LTTC will be publishing a special volume that will include selected papers from
the conference across the following areas:
● Education, Certification and Evaluation of the Translator
● Translators in History
● Translation Technology
● Translation and Cross-Cultural Theory
● Literary Translation
All conference presenters are invited to submit revised versions of their papers. Submissions
will be subject to a blind review process, during which the papers will be evaluated in terms of
novelty, relevance to the field, methodology, clarity of presentation, and theoretical/practical value.
Authors will be notified on the status of their submissions via email in December 2012.

1. Language: Manuscripts can be written in either Chinese or English. Authors of manuscripts
