About the JLD

Several decades ago…

The Japanese Language Division (JLD) first came into unofficial existence in 1984 and was formally sanctioned by the ATA in 1987 as the first language-specific group within the organization. The JLD is a means of offering communication among its members and of providing information and services to its members in specific fields of interest related to translation to/from the Japanese language.

Official JLD reports, including Governance Reports and the Annual Meeting minutes, are available here.

Join the JLD!

Joining the JLD is just a click away! Your ATA annual dues include membership in any or all of ATA’s 16 professional-interest divisions at no additional charge. Any ATA members can join the JLD through the ATA member-only online system.
