Virtual Visit to DG Translation 2024

The annual virtual visit to DG Translation aims to bring together master's students in translation and linguistic studies, professional linguists, and translators working for the European Commission. Participants will gain insights into the daily work of European Commission translators, the translation tools and methods used, required skills, various translation profiles, and career and traineeship opportunities at the European Commission.

Professional translators will share their experiences and answer questions in interactive virtual rooms. The program includes an introduction to DG Translation, the work of translators, and career opportunities, all presented in English. Breakout rooms will be available for each of the 24 official EU languages, allowing students to interact with translators and ask questions.
