Testimonials
Taking part in the first TranslateCluj conference was both exciting and rewarding. I enjoyed attending the presentations and learned a lot of technical tricks which have already made my work easier. Last but not least, Cluj is always worth a visit (or two or three)!

Maria Diaconu
Translate Cluj was a very well organised event with inspiring sessions and great networking opportunities. I really enjoyed it, both as an attendee and as a presenter. What struck me the most was the warm hospitality of the organisers and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. I'm looking forward to the next editions!

Dorota Pawlak
Most of a freelancer work is a virtual and isolated world, plus an on-going adaptation process to new tech requirements. A good reason for me to attend Translate Cluj, an event that surprised me with so many nice peers and activities. It was like a refined cocktail mixing a fresh sip of cosy atmosphere, new techy translation information, tips and tricks from professionals and networking with old and new friends. A must-(re)do!

Ioana Bostan
What an intensely practical event! If you're into pro tips with a hands-on approach, TranslateCluj should definitely be on your calendar!

Cristian Sălăjan
TranslateCluj was one of the most inspiring conferences I have attended over the past 10 years. Superb organization on all levels indeed. Moreover, the caliber of the attendees, namely translators and simultaneous interpreters was astonishing. They were all very clever and eager to learn more techniques and tips and tricks.
