Master TI (Translation and Interpretation)

The Master's degree in Translation and Interpretation is divided into two tracks: Literary Translation and Specialized Translation.

• The Literary Translation (TL) track is designed to train literary translators in a large number of so-called "rare" languages, often taught only at Inalco (languages of Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa and America) and for which there is a shortage of good translators. Translation is either into or from French, depending on the student's writing language.
• The Specialized Translation (ST) course is designed to train professionals in non-literary translation into Oriental languages. It combines intensive training in translation professions (economic, legal, scientific, etc.) in the combination of English and French, with in-depth study of Oriental languages.

The Specialized Translation (ST) program is designed to train non-literary translators in Oriental languages.
