16th International Conference on Translation
Crystal Crown Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia from the 8 – 10th of August, 2017.
The
International Conference on Translation (PPA) is a bi-annual
conference, which was first held in 1984 through the initiatives of the
Malaysian Translators Association (MTA) and the Institute of Language
and Literature (DBP). PPA came to being owing to the awareness that
translation is an indispensable communication medium in knowledge
transfer, and therefore contributes significantly to a nation’s
development.
This 16th International Translation Conference will be held at Crystal Crown Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia from the 8 – 10th
of August, 2017. The Faculty of Languages and Linguistics and the
Academy of Malay Studies, University of Malaya will co-host this

Translators Association (MTA), Malaysian Institute of Translation and
Books (ITBM), the Institute of Language and Literature (DBP) and
Perbadanan Kota Buku (PKB).
