Dear fellow translators in Taiwan,

For the past three years, we have had three powwows in Taiwan, two in Taipei and one in Hsinchu at Dr. Peng's. The first one was an ambitious one and we didn't reach the goal of setting up an association in Taiwan. For this reason, we tried a more practical approach at Dr. Peng's: We talked about using CAT tools.

The third powwow in Taipei was for translators with PM experiences. There were issues of common concern of translators in Taiwan, too. After the meeting, I scheduled a next powwow in September last year which I had to cancel for some reasons. However, I am inviting you again to the powwow meeting for mind-exchanging. We will have the same topic as the cancelled one: How to handle bigger projects.

Bigger projects are usually no business for single translators. The jobs are usually coordinated among several colleagues. In order to ensure the translation qualtiy, there must be a certain QA process involving more than one colleague while the preliminary jobs are being done. We will focus on the issues involved in different QA processes for different bigger translation projects.

I hope that you guys, who were in the last powwow, will be there this time and bring some more colleagues with you, especially colleagues who are in charge of QA. Those who were not in the last powwows or in charge of QA are welcome as well. The meeting could be a translator chatroom.

We will meet at Cat Mint near National Normal University in Taipei this time. Enjoy the meeting!
