Who we are<\/h3>\t\t\t

The German Language Division (GLD) is a language group within the American Translators Association<\/a> (ATA) for translators and interpreters with German as either their source or their target language. The GLD was founded in 1997 at the ATA Conference in San Francisco. With some 750 members, the GLD is currently the third largest ATA language division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>
