The Fédération Internationale des Traducteurs[1] (English: International Federation of Translators) is an international federation of associations of translators, interpreters and terminologists working in areas as diverse as literary, scientific and technical, public service, court and legal settings, conference interpreting, media and diplomatic fields and academia.
The organisation aims to improve conditions for the profession in all countries and to uphold translators' rights and freedom of expression.
FIT has consultative status with UNESCO, The United Nations and has close relationships with other UN organs such as the World Intellectual Property Organisation.
[6] The proceedings of each congress are also published, and serve as a further source of valuable information to those interested in the many facets of the translation profession.
In addition, between its congresses, FIT participates in the organization of webinars, seminars, colloquia and panel discussions on various aspects of the profession.
