Description
History
The Japan Association of Translators (JAT) was founded in May 1985 as a means for individual translators to exchange information and insight, thereby helping each other not just to do a better job for their clients but a more rewarding one for themselves as well.
JAT started out as a special interest group of the Society of Writers, Editors, and Translators, but its members quickly realized that a separate organization for translators would provide a more intense forum for meeting the needs of professional translators.
At present, JAT has a membership of about 500 people. This group includes J-E and E-J translators living and working in Japan and elsewhere. With the Internet-assisted collapse of borders separating translators, it is not surprising that JAT's membership should spread geographically, and as of this writing about 40% of JAT members live outside Japan. Interpreters are also active in JAT and lend another type of diversity to the organization.
