FORUM was founded in 2003 by the joint efforts of researchers from KSCI and ESIT. It is a refereed international Translation Studies Journal, bilingual English/French, and appears twice a year. FORUM is supported by UNESCO's Clearing House for Literary Translation. The Journal's primary objective is to offer publication space to Translation Studies researchers not only from Western countries, but also from Asia, Africa and the Middle-East. The papers published in FORUM deal with a variety of issues: translation of technical texts, literature, philosophy and poetry, interpreting in its various modes, the teaching of translation and interpreting, and often offer regional points of view. They apply a variety of liberal arts or empirical methodologies.

Née en 2003 par la volonté conjointe de chercheurs du KSCI et de l'ESIT, FORUM est une revue internationale de traductologie à comité de lecture. Elle est bilingue français/ anglais et paraît deux fois par an. Elle est parrainée par le Centre d'échanges d'informations sur la traduction littéraire de l'UNESCO. L'objectif premier de FORUM est d'offrir un espace de visibilité à des traductologues des pays occidentaux, mais aussi d'autres régions, notamment d’Asie, d’Afrique et du Moyen Orient. Les articles publiés étudient les sujets les plus variés: la traduction de textes techniques, comme littéraires, philosophiques ou poétiques, l'interprétation dans ses diverses formes, la pédagogie de l'interprétation et de la traduction et exposent souvent des points de vue régionaux. Ils s'appuient sur diverses méthodologies, argumentatives ou empiriques.

John Benjamins Publishing Company is the official publisher as of Volume 14 (2016).

FORUM publishes its articles Online First.
