The Centre for Government Translator and Interpreter Development (Pusbinter) of the Ministry of State Secretariat officially launched the 2026 Batch V Functional Training for Government Translators, which is being conducted online via Zoom.

Held at the beginning of the year, the training is designed to foster renewed enthusiasm among participants while strengthening the professional competencies of government translators. The program forms part of Pusbinter’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the quality and capacity of human resources within the government translation sector.

In her opening remarks, the Head of Pusbinter emphasized that the development of human resources through continuous training programs is a key foundation for achieving Indonesia’s Golden Vision 2045. She noted that the government has identified four main pillars to realize this vision: human resource development, mastery of science and technology, sustainable economic growth, and equitable development.

The functional training reflects the commitment of the Ministry of State Secretariat, as the Supervising Institution for the Functional Position of Translator, to prepare professional, reliable, and competent translators in line with established competency standards. The training curriculum is developed based on translators’ core duties, which include written translation, interpreting, preparation of source texts for translation, as well as the translation of ancient manuscripts and inscriptions, and is tailored to address practical needs in the field.

Through this program, participants are expected to produce accurate, precise, and acceptable translations that support government programs, strengthen international cooperation, and facilitate the dissemination of strategic policies to global stakeholders.

The Ministry of State Secretariat also expressed its appreciation to all parties involved in supporting the implementation of the training, including the Language Center of the Faculty of Humanities at Universitas Indonesia, the Pusbinter team, and the organizing committee. The 2026 Batch V Functional Training for the Functional Position of Translator was officially declared open and is expected to be utilized optimally by all participants. (PUSBINTER) (HYP)
