Cameroon Association for Translation Studies

We foster research on translation studies, interpreting, and intercultural communication

Translation Studies And Beyond.

As human beings, we enjoy reading books, eating good food and travelling around the globe. But, as a research-oriented association, we do much more in areas related to multilingualism.

Research Design

We are all researchers (to some extent), so doing research is part of our DNA. Together, we edify each other on best practices, new trends, quality resources.

Publications

We encourage ethical practices and capacity building opportunities to help advance research on translation, interpreting, and related fields.

Knowledge Base

We host several events aimed at sharing the latest trends and research through contributions from translation scholars around the world.
