IG Übersetzerinnen Übersetzer
The IG Übersetzerinnen Übersetzer represent the interests of literary and scientific translators in Austria. Its most important goal is to improve the legal, social and economic framework for translators.

Information and advice is offered on all professionally relevant issues, in particular copyright, the conclusion of translation contracts, social and tax issues and career entry. Further training events – above all the annual Austrian Translators Seminar – and presentations of the work of translators are also part of what we offer to members and the public.
