The Translators Association (TA) is an association representing literary translators in the United Kingdom. The Translators Association is affiliated with the International Federation of Translators (FIT).

History

The Translators Association (TA) was established in 1958 as a specialist group within the Society of Authors, a trade union for professional writers, with a membership of more than 7,000. The TA was set up to provide translators with an effective means of protecting their interests and sharing their concerns. The TA is a source of professional advice, a representative for individuals, and an advocate for the profession as a whole.

The TA administers prizes for published translations of full-length work of literary merit and general interest from the following languages into English: Italian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, modern Greek, Japanese, Dutch or Flemish, and Swedish.
