“A person who is not inspired by translation, who does not enjoy the image, who does not write with the blood of the heart, cannot create a world that will last in his native language for a long time,” – said T. Alimkulov. It means that translation is both fascinating and challenging branch of science. Therefore, being a translator is a difficult task which never loses its responsibility and importance, which became a topical issue in the work of this conference, which in turn shows that today the interest in the profession of translator is growing. This is gratifying.
At the end of the conference, a collection of articles and certificates were given to participants. The head of the department, associate professor M.M. Aimagambetova thanked the participants of the traditional annual conference and wished them creative success.
