Accreditations | TOP |
No ATA accreditation is available in Chinese to English at this time, but as an active member I have been peer reviewed by ATA American Translators' Association, including the Chinese Language Division and the Interpreters' Division Articles Published in the How-To Library of Translatorscafe.com | TOP |
PDAs and the Interpreter Palm OS(r) based PDAs offer the possibility of keeping large amounts of data on a tiny footprint. While they currently do not offer every capability a notebook computer can, their use in the interpreting booth can be convenient and space-saving, and they can faciltitate the review of documents and terms on the road.
