style='font-size:12.0pt'>Human Language Technologies (HLT) continue to be a
challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields as these areas
become an ever more essential element of our everyday technological
environment. Since the very beginning of the Computer and Information Age
these fields have influenced and stimulated each other. The European Union
strongly supports HLT under the 7th Framework Program. These efforts as well as
technological, social and cultural globalization have created a favorable
climate for the intensive exchange of novel ideas, concepts and solutions
across initially distant disciplines. We aim at further contributing to this
exchange and invite you to join us at LTC in November 2009, as well as at the
FlaReNet workshop (LRL 2009) on the theme "Getting Less-Resourced
Languages on-Board!".<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Language Technologies (LT) provide an essential
support to the challenge of Multilingualism. In order to develop them, it is
necessary to have access to Language Resources (LR) and to assess LT
performances. To this regard, the situation is very different across the
different languages. Little or sparse data exist for languages in countries or
regions where limited efforts have been devoted to such issues in the past,
also known as Less-Resourced Languages (LRL). The workshop aims at reporting
the needs, at presenting achievements and at proposing solutions for the
future, both in terms of LR and of LT evaluation, especially in the European,
Euro-Mediterranean and regional frameworks. This will allow to identity the
factors that have an impact on a potential and shared roadmap towards supplying
LR and LT for all languages.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
