Who We Are<\/b><\/p>\n

We are a group of Chinese-English and English-Chinese translators and members of the ATA Chinese Language Division, united by our shared goal of improving translation quality and working toward ATA certification. Friendly, committed, and collaborative, we support each other through regular practice and constructive feedback.<\/p>\n

Our Goal<\/b><\/p>\n

To become ATA-certified translators through consistent practice and peer review.<\/p>\n

\n

How It Works<\/b><\/p>\n

Each round, participants receive two short passages\u2014one in English and one in Chinese\u2014similar in length and difficulty to those on the ATA certification exam. You\u2019ll have 5 days to complete your translations and submit them.<\/p>\n

Within 24 hours of the submission deadline, all submitted translations are compiled anonymously in a shared Google Doc, accessible only to those who participated in that round. Each participant is assigned to review two translations in the same language direction. (If you submit a Chinese-to-English translation, you\u2019ll review two Chinese-to-English translations. If you choose to submit translations in both directions, you’ll provide four sets of feedback.)<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll then have 3 days to complete your feedback.<\/p>\n

Each round lasts a total of 9 days.<\/p>\n
