23rd Annual Conference and Exhibition: 

TRANSLATING AND THE COMPUTER 

29-30 November 2001

One Great George Street, London SW1

Supported by: IAMT, EAMT, BCS and ITI

This conference is one of the few international events which focuses on the user aspects of translation software and as such has been particularly beneficial to a very wide audience including translators, business managers, researchers and language experts. Once again, this year the conference will address the latest developments in translation (and translation-related) software.  It will address the needs of the following conference attendees:

- industry

- public administration

- agencies

- freelancers

- development  

This call for papers invites abstracts of papers to be presented at the conference.  The papers (and the presentations) should focus on the user aspects of translation or translation-related software rather than on theoretical issues.  Presentations accompanied by demonstrations are especially welcome.

TOPICS

The range of topics includes (but is not limited to)

-         use of MT systems

-         machine-aided translation and translation aids

-         controlled languages and their use in MT

-         speech translation

-         terminology

-         localisation

-         multilingual document management/workflow

-         case studies of technology-based solutions

-         the Internet and translation aids/services

-         the value of "free" versus "charging" services/sites on the Internet
