Meeting Description:

37th Translating and the Computer Conference (TC37), 26-27 November 2015, London

ASLING (Association internationale pour la promotion des technologies linguistiques) is delighted to announce the forthcoming, 37th edition of the annual Translating and the Computer Conference (TC37) to take place on 26 and 27 November 2015 in London.

The TC conference has emerged as a leading forum for users, developers and vendors of Translation Technology tools, being a distinctive event for discussing the latest developments. It is an annual meeting where translators, researchers and business people, from translation companies, international organisations, universities and research labs, as well as freelance professionals, exchange ideas and discuss hot topics.

The TC conference takes the form of presentations as well as posters and also features panel discussions and workshops. If you or a colleague have something interesting to contribute, this call invites you to consider submitting an extended abstract of a paper or poster for the TC37 conference. If on the other hand you have a workshop to propose, please provide an abstract (maximum 750 words) describing the topic and an outline of the structure.

Call for Papers:

Conference Topics:

Contributions are invited on any topic related to the technology used in
translation and interpreting, including, but not limited to, CAT tools
(Translation Memory (TM) systems, integration of Machine Translation in TM
systems), Terminology Management, Machine Translation (training, quality
assessment, post-editing, adaptation), Quality Control, Interoperability,
Crowd-sourcing, Natural Language Processing and Translation Workflow and
Management. Among the other important topics are training (including
university translation programmes and the rapidly changing translation
industry), resources for translators, tools and resources for interpreters,
how to facilitate collaboration between translators and translation companies,
and mobile technologies to support translators' work.

Papers:

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract (maximum of 750 words) of
the paper they would like to present, together with a short 200 word abstract
and short biography. Although the extended abstract is limited to 750 words
(longer papers will NOT be considered), it should provide sufficient
information to allow evaluation of the submission by the programme committee.
The short abstracts of accepted papers will be used in online programme and
event advertising.

Camera-ready versions of the accepted papers will be published in the
conference e-proceedings with an assigned ISBN number, subject to the
presenter having duly registered for the conference. Their length should not
exceed 5,000 words.

Posters:

Poster proposals are invited in the form of poster abstracts not exceeding 500
words. Authors should submit a 200-word version as well as a short biography
for dissemination.

Camera-ready versions of the accepted posters will be published in the
conference e-proceedings with an assigned ISBN number, subject to the
presenter having duly registered for the conference. Their length should not
exceed 2,000 words.

Submission:

Both papers and posters should be submitted via the START conference
submission system using the email address soon to be announced on the
conference website (http://www.translatingandthecomputer.com/) and also in the
second conference
announcement.

Submission Guidelines:

Original unpublished papers and posters on all aspects of translation and
interpretation technology are invited. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, those listed above. Papers and posters may report (among other
things) on research, on commercial translation products or on user
experiences.  The difference between papers and posters is that while papers
are expected to report on more conclusive results, posters can present ongoing
and not necessarily completed research, teaching or training activity,
practical work, software programs, projects or new developments.

The website and the second announcement will also provide formatting
guidelines in the form of Word (and LaTeX) stylesheets.
