PRATARMĖ
FOREWORD

Summary/Abstract: On 6–7 October 2011, Vilnius University’s Department of Translation and Interpretation Studies hosted an international conference entitled ‘Translation is the Language of Europe’ (Umberto Eco). The conference was a major success, with presentations by delegates from 23 countries spread across 8 parallel sessions (see Report at the back of this issue). The diversity of problems that came up for discussion is reflected in the selection of articles in this issue, whose contents are based on the conference material. Amongst the topics covered in the articles are translation theory and practice, literary translation, audio-visual translation, as well as translator training. A few of the later submissions have been reserved for the next issue of Vertimo studijos, which will also contain a Lithuanian translation of an essay by José Ortega y Gasset entitled The Misery and the Splendour of Translation.
