November 13, 2001  --The Logos Group has launched the first-ever translation course designed for use via the Internet. 

Every user of the Logos portal (www.logos.it) can now follow, entirely free of charge, an online course, Introduction to Translation, by going directly to the internet page www.logos.it/translation_course/index_it.html

Put together by Professor Bruno Osimo, who teaches translation at the Milan Higher Institute for Interpreters and Translators, the course consists of a series of structured teaching units which are steadily coming onstream and being made available to the public.

Currently the courses are offered in no fewer than four languages: English, German, Italian and Spanish. In addition a course in literary translation is offered in English and Italian.

This facility is principally aimed at those who have studied, or are currently studying, a language at school or university but have never followed a specific translation course.
