主题
本届论坛的主题为“亚太地区翻译的未来”，意在展示亚太地区发生的种种变化。
更名
鉴于论坛参与人员职业的多样性，且论坛所涉内容不仅限于亚洲的翻译事业发展（还包括太平洋地区），今年主办方将论坛名称由原来的“亚洲翻译家论坛”（ATF） 调整为“亚太翻译论坛”（APTIF）。此举也反映了翻译事业的全球化发展进程，以及翻译与国际政治关系、贸易、文化交流、商业之间的紧密联系。

Eighth Asia-Pacific Translation and Interpreting Forum (APTIF)
Welcome to join us at the Eighth Asia-Pacific Translation and Interpreting Forum (APTIF8) to be held in Xi’an, China on June 17-18, 2016. Starting from 2015, the name of the forum is changed from the "Asian Translators Forum (ATF)" to the "Asia-Pacific Translation and Interpreting Forum (APTIF)". Here, you will find all the information you need, whether you are planning to present at this international forum, or whether you are a prospective attendee interested in gaining an overview of new development in the translation and interpreting industry in the Asia-Pacific Region.
Theme
The theme of this year's conference is "Translation and Interpreting in Tomorrow's Asia-Pacific Region", representing the diverse changes taking place in the Asia-Pacific region.
Name change
This year, we have changed the name of the forum from the "Asian Translators Forum (ATF)" to the "Asia-Pacific Translation and Interpreting Forum (APTIF)". The reason for this is to reflect the diversity of the Forum's presenters and attendees, and its expanding focus on translation and interpreting not just within Asia, but also around the Pacific Rim. It also reflects the increasingly global nature of translation and interpreting and their close relationship with international political relations, trade, cultural exchange, and business.
Conference organisers
The Eighth APTIF is co-hosted by Translators Association of China (TAC) and the International Federation of Translators (FIT), and organized by Xi'an International Studies University (XISU).
Forum history
Since the founding of the Forum in 1995, it has been held seven times—four times in China, and once each in South Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
The Forum was founded to showcase translation and interpreting developments in the wider Asian region, and to allow translation and interpreting scholars, professionals, industry leaders, and other interested parties to meet and share developments in the regional translation and interpreting industry. By doing this, the Forum aims to raise the profile of translation and interpreting in the Asia Pacific region, and to showcase exciting changes that are taking place here, as well as providing an opportunity for attendees to meet with internationally-renowned scholars and professional practitioners in the field.
