Purpose and Theme<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p>Since </span><span
lang="DA">the late 1970s, when research on translation memories began,
and the
late 1980s, when the first commercial TM products became available,
there have
been few major breakthroughs which have led to new tools designed to
support
the activity of human translators. Instead, most research in the field
has
focussed on improving existing tools, be it translation memories, full
machine
translation, terminology databases, alignment editors, monolingual
spelling or
grammar checkers, voice recognition, workflow management, etc. The
results have
certainly been encouraging, often allowing translators and translation
firms to
work more efficiently and effectively. But have all the needs of
translation
practioners been fully satisfied? Beyond the recycling of full-sentence
repetitions and their so-called fuzzy matches, are there new avenues
left to
explore?<br>
<o:p></o:p><br>
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a
forum for the discussion – and perhaps even the demonstration – of such
new
tools for translators. Researchers, developers and practioners are
invited to
share ideas, approaches, perspectives and experiences that pertain to
new
technology or new ways of using existing technology to support and
facilitate
the translation process. </span></p>
