<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Cross lingual information access (CLIA) is concerned with any technologies and applications that enable people to freely access information that is expressed in any languages. With the rapid development of globalization and digital online information in Internet, huge demand for cross lingual information access has emerged from ordinary netizens (polyglots or monoglots) who are surfing the Internet for special information (e.g. travelling, product description), and communicating in soaring social networks (e.g. Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Myspace), to global companies which provide multilingual services to their multinational customers, and governments who aim to lower the barriers to international commerce and collaboration, and homeland security. This huge demand has triggered vigorous research and development in CLIA.</span></p>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">This workshop is a continuous effort to address the need of cross-lingual information access on top of its previous four issues which were held during IJCAI 2007 in Hyderabad, IJCNLP 2008 in Hyderabad, NAACL 2009 in Colorado, and COLING 2010 in Beijing. It aims to bring together researchers from a variety of fields such as information retrieval, computational linguistics, machine translation, and digital library, and practitioners from government and industry to address the issues of information need of multilingual society. We also would like to promote and emphasize the potential contributions of NLP and computational linguistic aspects to CLIA, in addition to the previously better represented viewpoint from Information Retrieval. Specifically, the key interests are in:</span></p>
