2020 Young Translators Contest was held in Istanbul

Tenth Young Translators Contest was held by the Directorate for EU Affairs in İstanbul on 11 January 2020

The “Young Translators Contest” is held annually, for the last ten years, to raise awareness of Türkiye’s EU accession process among university students preparing for a professional career in translation and interpretation and to contribute to the development of qualified human resources in this field. This year, 96 students took part in the contest, 56 of whom competed in English, 18 in German and 22 in French. The students translated a text extracted from an EU act for the contest.

The first, second, and third place winners in each language category will be awarded with a certificate of achievement and the first rankers will participate in a study visit to the translation departments of the EU institutions in Brussels, Belgium.
