<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Following the
success of the AMTA 2012 Workshop on Translation Post-Editing
Technology and Practice (WPTP: <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/wptp2012" target="_blank">https://sites.google.com/site/wptp2012</a>),
we
are organizing WPTP2: <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/mts2013wptp/">https://sites.google.com/site/mts2013wptp/</a>. Once again, this workshop will be an
opportunity for post-editing practitioners and researchers to
get together and openly discuss the weaknesses and strengths of
existing technology, to properly and objectively assess
post-editing effectiveness, to establish better practices, and
propose tools and technological post-editing solutions that are
built around the needs of users.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">This one-day
workshop will be held during MT Summit XIV, in Nice (France),
Sept. 2, 2013. The workshop will feature an invited speaker,
oral presentations of original work, and a short poster and demo
session.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">The broad focus
of WPTP1 was technologies and practices associated with
post-editing. For WPTP2, we propose to place a greater emphasis
on "technologies". We are particularly interested in attracting
original papers on the following themes, but also welcome other
ideas which touch on potential fruitful human-machine
collaborations for translation:</p>
