ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

IATIS

Hi there, so IATIS stands for "International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies". It's a group of people from all over the world who really like languages and think it's super cool to translate words from one language to another.

They study things like how people communicate across different cultures, how languages change over time, and how people can translate things accurately while also keeping the original meaning and tone.

Think of it like when you talk to someone who speaks a different language than you - you might need help from a translator to understand each other, right? Well, the people in IATIS are the experts who can help make that happen.

They also help teach other people how to be good translators, and they share research and ideas with each other so that everyone can get better at understanding and communicating between different languages and cultures.
