Two European Commission translators shared their journey as translators at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation (DGT) and answered questions from an international group of students about their work. 

The talk was part of a pilot project involving universities of IAMLADP’s Universities Contact Group. We are pleased to share the recordings here on the KCTI for anyone interested in learning about translating for the EU institutions and legal translation in general.
