The Japan Association of Translators (JAT) is the largest professional association of practicing translators and interpreters in Japan, with approximately 800 members.[citation needed] The association was founded in 1985.[1]
Membership is open to any individual with an interest in translation and interpreting between English and Japanese as a profession or as a scholarly pursuit. Members include, but are not limited to, translators, interpreters, teachers, and project managers.
JAT is affiliated with the International Federation of Translators (FIT).[citation needed] Its home office is in Tokyo, Japan.[2]
