    Description

    The Translation Bureau is the federal organization responsible for supporting the Government of Canada in its efforts to communicate with and provide services for Canadians in the official language of their choice.
    Supported by a cross-country network, our language professionals offer quality services in Canada’s official languages as well as in over 100 Aboriginal and foreign languages.
    The Translation Bureau would like to thank all its suppliers. Your support allows us to provide high-quality services to the Government of Canada. Although it is the largest employer of translators, interpreters and terminologists in Canada, the Translation Bureau sometimes requires linguistic services suppliers (firms or self-employed individuals). Should you wish to offer your services there are two ways of proceeding, depending on the types of linguistic services you offer:

    1. Terminology services, translation services in aboriginal and foreign languages, and interpretation services in official languages, aboriginal language, foreign language and visual
    You must register in our Translation Bureau Suppliers Directory of Linguistic Services by visiting the Translation Bureau Supplier Info Web Site (freelancer) at http://www.bt-tb.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.
    Notice to suppliers located outside Canada: Please read The Bulletin (Volume 17, No. 2, August 2013) at http://www.bt-tb.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/btb.php?lang=eng&cont=1826.

    2. Official languages translation services, transcription and desktop publishing services
    Twice a year, the Translation Bureau, in cooperation with the Acquisitions Branch, will launch a Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) process which will issue Supply Arrangements (SA) for qualified suppliers to fulfill requirements in two service categories: official languages translation and transcription and desktop publishing. Visit the buyandsell.gc.ca site for additional information. Please register for the RSS feed service to automatically receive the latest news.
    The registration process for official language translation and Word processing is now administrated by the Acquisitions Branch. For registration information, please write to AMARepertoireBureau.SADirectoryBureau@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.
