We welcome submissions to the First International Conference on Translation Studies which will be held on 8-9 May 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. ICTS2014 aims to be a supportive space for those who wish to present their latest studies and research projects related to Asian languages and cultures. It further seeks to create a dynamic network of researchers working in Translation Studies.
