<div dir="ltr">Dear readers of TC3,<br>
<br>
We proudly announce the publication and online availability of the Special Issue on "Language
Technologies for a Multilingual Europe" of the open-access journal
"Translation: Computation, Corpora, Cognition" guest edited by Georg Rehm, Felix Sasaki, Daniel Stein, and Andreas Witt.<br><br>The issue can be viewed under the following address:<br><br><a href="http://www.t-c3.org/index.php/t-c3/issue/view/4" target="_blank">http://www.t-c3.org/index.php/t-c3/issue/view/4</a><br>
<br>
In 2011 the guest editors of this special issue organised a workshop at
the Conference of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and
Language Technology (GSCL), which took place in Hamburg. Our intention
with this workshop was to bring together various groups concerned with
the umbrella topics of multilingualism and language technology,
especially multilingual technologies. This encompassed, on the one hand,
representatives from research and development in the field of language
technologies, and on the other hand users from diverse areas such as,
among others, industry, administration and funding agencies. A
multilingual Europe supported by language technology is only possible if
an adequate and interoperable infrastructure of resources (including
the related tooling) is available for all European and other important
languages. It is necessary that the aforementioned groups and other
communities of developers and users of language technology stand as
a single homogenous community.<br><br>This special issue of
"Translation: Corpora, Computation, Cognition" includes most of the
papers presented at the GSCL 2011 Workshop along with several additional
contributions.
We would like to thank the authors for their contributions and for
bearing with us in the process of creating this special issue, and the
reviewers for providing feedback to the authors and ensuring the quality
of the contributions.<br>
<br>
With all best wishes,<br>
<br>
