What is ItzuL?

ItzuL is a mailing list set up by EIZIE. Their aim is to be an aid to Basque translators which will serve as a forum to solve and discuss with fellow translators problems that usually crop up in their everyday work.

Above all, these topics will be discussed in the ItzuL list:

  • Practical translation problems: terminology, idioms and sayings, problems in understanding the original text, obscure concepts, unknown proper names, etc;
  • references, dictionaries, word lists, and where other such sources of information may be found; matters dealing with translation theory;
  • questions dealing with software globalization and localisation;
  • problems related to payment for translation work done, working conditions of translators, matters related to the profession;
  • useful news from the world of translation;
  • doubts about computer software and tools usually used by translators, questions, solutions, news, and so on;
  • translation jobs.

ItzuL is a public, open, and unmoderated list. Subscribers' messages are automatically sent out to the list without any human intervention.

It is remarkable that, unlike many other mailing-lists in the world, ItzuL is still very alive, receives messages and replies on a daily basis and enables Basque translators to solve doubts that arise from their everyday work.
