Translators association Europe: SAPT
Full-time translators and interpreters only
 The Slovak Association of Translators and Interpreters (Slovenská asociácia prekladatelov a tlmocníkov or SAPT) is an exclusive organization for translators and interpreters based in Bratislava and whose mission is to advocate for a high level of translation and interpreting services and to further the application of standards in the provision of those services.
SAPT is a guild of professionals that does not associate persons who translate and/or interpret on a part-time or occasional basis.
