About us

¿Quiénes somos?

Colegio Nacional de Licenciados en Traducción e Interpretación (CONALTI©) is a civil professional association founded in 1980—at the initiative of the first graduates of the School of Modern Languages at the Central University of Venezuela—to bring together professional translators and interpreters in Venezuela.

Our mandate is exclusively institutional and professional. It is important to note that we are not endowed with the statutory powers of a chartered body (such as the Bar Association or the College of Physicians) or the authority of a certifying organization. We are not a language service provider.

CONALTI© is proud to be a member association of the International Federation of Translators (FIT).

Mission
Our mission is to advocate for and elevate translation and interpretation professions, ensuring the accurate and effective use of language. To foster professional development and excellence among our members.

Vision
Our vision is to be the leading forum for translators and interpreters, fostering public recognition of their professional significance.
