Hey all, FYI that if you're interested in Japanese-English translation, and able to get to the Toronto area on May 25-26, IJET is having their annual conference there this year. I went when it was in Sendai and in Osaka and met a lot of great people and got a feel for what the industry is like, and I've heard others say they felt really welcome as newbies/students etc., so I'd highly recommend it if you're able to attend. So far I'm excited for Katrina's session on media localization, and the sessions on interpreting (I need them 😭) The keynote by a rakugo performer should be really interesting, too, especially since I've been following Akane-banashi for a while now so I have a marginally better understanding! Anyway, let me know if you have questions, and if you are able to go definitely say something so I can say hi!!
