Translators Associations Europe: JTP
The Czech association of translation and interpretation
 The Union of Interpreters and Translators (abbreviated to Czech JTP) was founded in 1990 and currently has over 600 professional translators, interpreters and translation teachers actively working in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and other countries.
Since its foundation, this translators association has proven itself to be an important representative of professionals in the field of interpretation and translation. It aims to achieve social recognition and adequate assessment of the profession and at the same time increase the level of professional colleagues.
On JTP's website (mainly in Czech), this translators association gives answers to frequent questions, such us the following: how to start and establish your own business; how to budget a standard page; how to become a court interpreter; why and how to insure against damage caused by translation or interpretation, finding a translator or an interpreter in a specific pair of languages; certifying translations; Czech spelling rules; taxes due and tax return; etc.
