Dear visitors to the homepage of the Association of Estonian Translation Companies,

Translation companies have been offering professional translation services in Estonia since the early nineties, and their nature, quality and price have changed dramatically over the past fifteen or so years. As customers’ needs and demands have increased, the level of services offered has also risen. The Association of Estonian Translation Companies was founded with the aim of regulating the translation market and bringing together serious, reliable providers of translation services in pursuit of its goals.

The goals of the association are:

1. to contribute to the foundation of a well-functioning competitive environment characterised by openness and honesty in Estonia’s translation market;
2. to raise customer awareness within the translation sector;
3. to express and represent the common interests of Members at the state and social levels;
4. to develop common principles of providing translation services and ensuring translation quality and to continually update them, collecting and analysing information about the translation market;
5. to contribute to the betterment of translation services in member companies, coordinating common principles and producing the documents required for them, and arranging information exchange and training;
6. to contribute to the adaptation of European Union best practice and standards in translation within Estonia’s legal space; and
7. to cooperate with other translation-based associations and organisations.
