The 50th annual conference of the American Translators Association kicked off in earnest yesterday in Times Square.

It was interesting to learn that the 25th Conference held in 1984–also in New York City–saw its events program dubbed “ATA Silver Tongues.” I did not attend that year. Nor did I find out yesterday if “silver” had anything to do with the silver anniversary. If it did, this year we should rightfully be called “Golden Tongues,” even if it has the ring of a bad translation.

Whatever we call ourselves, we’re growing in numbers and confidence judging by this year’s conference. What an incredible turnout and amazing schedule of events!
