Scope and content
Incomplete, missing page 4 onwards. Focuses on membership of the Fédération Internationale des Traducteurs (FIT). Written 43 years on from its foundation, FIT has 62 members or member associations. FIT was instrumental in the UNESCO Recommendation on the Legal Protection of Translators and Translations, approved in Nairobi by all but two of UNESCO member states in 1976 and known to translators as ‘Nairobi’. This detailed document was the first to cover the status and conditions of translators – and since 1984, interpreters as well.
It was as a result of thorough discussion of ‘Nairobi’ between the Publishers’ Association and the Translators’ Association in 1977 that Charles Clark of the PA included the TA’s model translation contract, based on the Recommendation, in his textbook ‘Publishing Agreements’.
