TICQ needs your input

Dear bi-/multilingual, dear student, dear translator, dear interpreter,

Together with a team of experts on translation studies, TRACO is working on a new questionnaire to assess various aspects of translation and interpreting skills. If you have a few minutes to spare, we would greatly appreciate your cooperation. Specifically, we would please ask you to complete one of the questionnaires below and to invite your colleagues, students, or classmates to do the same by spreading the word and sharing the link to this site – we particularly also need bilinguals without translation/interpreting experience.

If you are a bilingual without translation/interpreting experience or training, please select any link below that corresponds to a language you understand well.
