ABOUT US

Translorial is the quarterly journal of the Northern California Translators Association published in February, May, September and December. We generally try to have the journal in subscribers' hands approximately two weeks before the association's general meetings, which are held on the first Saturday of these respective months.

This page comes as a complement to the journal and here you can find background information about our contributors, article submission procedures, download of the latest issue’s cover, help on how to obtain a PDF file of the current issue, current advertising rates and an order form.
