Networking, Mentoring & Collaboration

DELT offers a vibrant community of translators who share resources, experiences, and advice. Members connect via a private Facebook Group, where they can discuss translation-related topics and seek support. We also collaborate with like-minded organisations working from Scandinavian and other languages, providing unique opportunities to engage with translators from various backgrounds.

We regularly host workshops and events, both online and in-person, focusing on professional development for translators. These events offer opportunities to improve your skills, stay updated with industry trends, and learn from experts in the field.
