Last year, we collaborated
with IRAM on the last stages
of a standard entitled " IRAM
13650-Translation. Sworn
Translation. Requirements
for services provided by a
Registered University Sworn
Translator. " This Argentine
standard is currently in the
open discussion stage of
an adoption process. IRAM
13650 regulates the specific
profession of the registered
sworn university translator.
We believe that this standard
will be ready to be published
by 2023.
We also collaborated
with IRAM Working Group
to ensure that the voice
of the translation and
interpreting industry was
reflected in the adoption
and adaptation of ISO/IEC
27000 Family of Standards
on Information Technology,
Security Techniques, and
Information Security
Management Systems in
Argentina. Our perspective
on the risks associated with
working with new technology
systems, such as cloud
platforms, was very valuable
to the development of this
standard. You can read more
about our involvement and
work on this standard in
our article, " Is Applying ISO
Standards to Information

in Translation? " in the

Standardization
in Argentina:
Leading the Way
One of the main reasons the
language services industry
in Argentina is unique
and well developed is due
to the sound academic
background of its language
professionals. Thus, it's not
surprising that Argentina
has been one of the first
markets in Latin America
to adopt international ISO

language-related standards
and develop its own national
standard for certified sworn
translations. Standardization
in Argentina has provided
a framework to all relevant
parties in the industry and
contributed to ensuring
quality through predefined
processes, thereby boosting
productivity by eliminating
guesswork and supporting
the flow of information along
the value chain. Moreover,
the adoption and integration
of language-related
standards at a national level
is of particular importance
for competitiveness and
opening up markets.
We hope this article
inspires other national
markets to embrace
standards in their language
industry. Our vision is that in
the near future
standardization will become
commonplace for all
language professionals
around the world.
