Welcome

Welcome to APTIC, the Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters of Catalonia. With our new website we wish to introduce our Association and its activities, and provide access to our online directory of professionals, the members of APTIC.

Here you will find general information about our profession, summaries of the activities we organize and a private space for association members, offering practical information, job postings, and other announcements.

The menu on the left offers information about the Association, requisites for becoming a member, benefits of membership, answers to common questions, useful files to download and links to consult.

Also, with our tool “Find a Translator” you will be able to explore APTIC’s online directory, and search for professional translators and interpreters by name, language combination, services offered and area of expertise.

While our website is available in Catalan, Spanish and English, some resources are available in Catalan only. If you have any questions, please contact our Offices, and we will be happy to address your concerns.
