Official bilingualism, multiculturalism and the communication needs of an outward-looking economy have nurtured a strong and innovative translation sector ma

31、de up of in-house language service departments, translation firms and independent translators. A number of Canadian users of translation services can be described as having an appreciation of the challenges involved in providing good translation.Educational institutions play a key role in supporting

32、 the development of the Canadian translation industry with Canadian universities providing specialized education in translation, terminology and interpretation.Translators, terminologists and interpreters in the various provinces and territories have formed associations to promote their professions,

33、 professional ethics and the protection of clients and consumers. They have worked together to create and promote the professional designation of certified translator. The provincial associations of British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick are now recognized by provincial statutes that gi

34、ve them the responsibility to protect the public.Canada is playing an important role in the development of international standards for translation services. In 2006 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) initiated the development of international standards for translation services

35、under ISO technical committee ISO/TC 37, Terminology and other language and content resources. Canada is an active participant member of the subcommittee developing the standards. Canadian input is co-ordinated through the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC/ISO/TC 37/SC 5), which is administered by the Stand

36、ards Council of Canada. The resulting ISO standards will influence the Canadian language industry in meeting national and international needs.CAN/CGSB-131.10-2017iii CGSB 2017 All rights reservedIntroductionThis National Standard of Canada establishes and defines the process requirements for the pro
