Become a member of FIT

FIT is a federation of national associations, not of individuals. All translators, interpreters or terminologists interested in our activities are invited to join their national association or any other association affiliated to FIT.

What we can do together

Working together, FIT members benefit from both local and international activities coordinated by a federation with global presence and established connections Activities at an international level provide benefits that would be difficult for a national association to achieve on its own. FIT focuses on four main areas: Community, Professional Development, International Visibility and Representation.

Can my association join FIT?

The FIT family of translators’ associations and institutions is always happy to welcome new members to its fold.

Your association can join FIT as regular member when its members are individual professional translators, interpreters or terminologists. This excludes organizations having students and corporations as regular members. If you are not yet convinced of the advantages of being a FIT member, you can join for three years as an observer without voting rights. Universities and other training institutes are welcome as associate members, also without voting rights. You will find more details on FIT membership in the menu About us. Please also refer to the Bylaws and Rules of Procedure on this website.

  • Associate members: 435 Swiss Francs
  • Observer members: 124 Swiss Francs
