<<< Workshop rationale >>><br>
In recent years, the translation profession has not only experienced <br>
considerable growth and global expansion but also been revolutionized <br>
by the ever-changing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). <br>
Almost every commercial or technical translation process today is <br>
optimized by computer-assisted translation (CAT) and/or terminology <br>
management programs. Consequently, professional translators feel <br>
compelled to buy and master a particular CAT package, which may <br>
have gained reputation as the one and only state-of-the-art translator's <br>
tech-companion.<br>
But is this the only thing translators and language professionals need <br>
to know about? Of course, not. Their acquaintance with translation <br>
technology and electronic resources ought not to be limited to buying <br>
the latest version of a well-known CAT tool. Most importantly, their <br>
performance and productivity would change for the better if they knew <br>
how to adapt, create, exploit, evaluate and reuse language resources <br>
(LR).<br>
This workshop aims precisely at shedding light on the design/creation, <br>
processing/exploitation, use and leverage of various forms of language <br>
resources in translation work and research. 'Research' that should not <br>
only be carried out by academics, but also by freelance translators and <br>
translation departments in the corporate and government sectors alike. <br>
Ideally, electronic language resources should be updated, when necessary, <br>
and more interestingly, shared by interested parties.<br><br>
