Call for Papers and Editorial Policies

he Translation Journal accepts and welcomes contributions of articles and other suitable material for future issues. In particular, we are interested in

Glossaries in any subject in any major language pair; glossaries that are too large for a web page will be made available for download;
Dictionary reviews;
Software and hardware reviews;
Annotated translations;
Articles about translation- and translator-related issues;
Articles about specific translation problems and approaches in different fields;
Legal and regulatory issues faced by translators;

etc., etc., etc.

Potential contributors please contact the Editor as soon as possible with a brief summary of the proposed item to avoid duplications. Articles submitted must be accompanied by the author's (or authors') short biography and photo in JPEG format. Articles in any major European language are welcome; we may provide English translations or abstracts in English, at our option, of articles submitted in languages other than English.

Authors are expected to check their work before submitting it for publication. Careless formatting, typographical and grammatical errors, and sloppy style may be reasons for an article to be rejected.

Experience shows that 15 pages is about the upper limit for an article to be read on-line. Articles exceeding this limit or 40K in size may be split up into portions to be published in the same or the next issue of the Journal.

We also welcome your contributions to the Letters to the Editor, Web Surfing for Fun and Profit, Translators’ Resources, and Translators’ Tools sections of this Journal.

We prefer unpublished contributions; when submitting articles previously published elsewhere, the author must mention this fact at the time of the submission.

Send your contributions via e-mail in any major word-processed format. Graphics, including the author's photo, can be in JPEG, EPS, TIFF, GIF, Photoshop, or BMP format.

Permission is hereby granted by the Journal's Editor for any article published herein to be reproduced in full or in part for any non-commercial purpose, subject to the consent of the Author(s), as long as the Translation Journal with its URL (http://translationjournal.net) is clearly indicated as the original source and a link is established to this URL.

Submission Guidelines

Please submit all contributions as e-mail attachments addressed to gbokor(at)translationjournal(dot)net. Identify your e-mail including the words "Translation Journal" in the subject line, to avoid your message being filtered out by our spam-killer software.
