For Surviving TranslatorsLise's IJET Conference Presentations

Japan Association of Translators stopped publishing the IJET Proceedings after its conferences years ago. They provided useful documentation of the presentations, but are a thing of the past and are unlikely to reappear. Some recent presentations are videorecorded, but the video quality is spotty and the readability of presentation screens is poor.

Another distressing development is that previous issues of the Proceedings have disappeared from the JAT website. They might be just lost, but I suspect that, contrary to expectations, they were not scanned and uploaded. It is unlikely that they will reappear, considering the things happening recently in the translation profession and business.

Being a horder, however, I had copies of most of my own presentations and also a full scan of the Proceedings for IJET-1, held back in 1990. The latter does not include a presentation by me, but the others are all my presentations, but without the other content produced for each IJET. I and others expected the Proceedings to be scanned and made available, but that evidently has not been done and will likely never be done at this point in the evolution of JAT and the translation world.
