About the Delaware Valley Translators Association

ABOUT DVTA

DVTA is a regional, not-for-profit association of professional translators, interpreters, linguists, educators, and other individuals interested in these fields and a chapter of the national American Translators Association. It has been associated with that organization since the early 1960s and acts as a regional talent bank for individuals, business and industry seeking assistance with translation and interpretation.

DVTA is dedicated to improving communications among translators and interpreters, and those interested in these fields, as part of an on-going program to promote the highest professional standards. It serves as a clearinghouse for information on literature and new developments concerning translation and interpretation. The association provides a forum for members to hear formal presentations and discuss current topics in the profession.

As a service to our members, DVTA maintains a private listserver at http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/DVTA_org open to all members of the association to share information about upcoming meetings and other events of interest to translators/interpreters, to post job opportunities, terminology and other translation and interpretation-related questions.

Membership in DVTA entitles members to attend educational meetings of the association at a reduced rate.

A WORD ABOUT CERTIFICATION

Certification is offered by a number of agencies, for example, federal and many state court systems will certify interpreters who pass the required examinations. Some agencies such as the FBI and the U.S. State Department have developed their own qualification programs to determine the eligibility of candidates to work for these agencies. Some translators and interpreters have been certified by non-U.S. agencies.

The American Translators Association (ATA) awards certification to members of that association who have successfully passed a written examination in a specified language combination. The association also offers verification of professional competency of its members by a peer review process. ATA does not offer certification in interpreting.
