Roundtable Discussion: Dispelling Myths about Language Services

As part of our ongoing commitment to collaboration and industry engagement, we are excited to invite you to join our upcoming Roundtable Discussion, “Dispelling the Myths about Language Services" 

While language services are an essential and rewarding industry, common misconceptions persist, such as “Anyone who is bilingual can be translators” or “Translators can become interpreters”. These misunderstandings undervalue the expertise and professionalism of language practitioners. 

This Roundtable Discussion brings together translators, interpreters, and bilingual workers for a productive discussion on how to dispel misconceptions, raise awareness of the profession, and how Polaron can better collaborate with language professionals. Insights from this discussion will help inform Polaron’s client outreach and future initiatives, fostering stronger industry relationships. 

This event will feature: 

• A panellist discussion 

• Group discussions 

• Networking opportunities 

Session Details:  

Date: Friday 21 February 2025 

Time: 4 PM – 5 PM AEDT  

Location: Online via Zoom  

Please note that 10 NAATI PD points will be available for eligible participants. 

We look forward to seeing you there!

Kind regards, 

The Polaron team
