TRANSLATION LISTS

Mailing lists can be of enormous benefit to translators, allowing them to ask and answer questions, share expertise and best practice, keep updated on events and developments and generally be part of a community – an important issue in what has historically been seen as a solitary profession. Please note that no guarantee is given as to the helpfulness or not of any of these lists. New members are strongly advised to be polite, read the instructions to list members, observe netiquette scrupulously and not bombard the list with questions until you have had time to get an idea of the tone and scope of the list!
