It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eta Trabing, a beloved leader, mentor, and trailblazer in the field of translation and interpretation. Eta’s remarkable career spanned more than 40 years, during which she made unparalleled contributions to the profession, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing and learning from her.

Eta served as President of both the Carolina Association of Translators and Interpreters (CATI) and the Houston Interpreters and Translators Association (HITA), leading these organizations with vision, dedication, and a deep commitment to advancing our field. She also founded the Berkana Center for Translation and Interpretation Studies, further solidifying her role as a cornerstone of professional development within our community.

Beyond her leadership, Eta was an esteemed author of over 23 books that have served as invaluable resources for interpreters and translators worldwide. Her works continue to guide professionals in mastering the complexities of the profession and empowering them to excel in their careers. For more information please visit: https://www.eberkana.us

Her passion for languages extended far beyond words; it was a reflection of her profound belief in the transformative power of communication. Eta was a tireless advocate for professionalism, ethical practices, and lifelong learning. She inspired countless colleagues with her dedication to excellence and guidance to those entering the field.

As we reflect on Eta’s extraordinary legacy, we are reminded of her ability to bridge cultures, build trust, and elevate the profession of translation and interpretation to new heights. Her contributions will continue to influence and inspire for generations to come.

While we mourn her loss, we also celebrate her enduring legacy. Let us strive to uphold the standards she advocated and carry forward the lessons she so generously imparted.

May she rest in peace.
