Meeting Description:

The TC conference series has emerged as a leading forum for users, developers
and vendors of Translation Technology tools. It is a distinctive event where
translators, interpreters, researchers and business people, from translation
companies, international organisations, universities and research labs, as
well as freelance professionals come together to exchange ideas and learn
about the latest developments in translation and interpretation technologies.

TC conferences feature presentations and posters, panel discussions and
workshops. In addition, the conference welcomes two distinguished experts as
keynote speakers. In 2017, our keynotes will be given by Roberto Navigli
(Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”) and Alex Waibel (Carnegie
Mellon University , Pittsburgh, and Karlsruher Institut für Technologie).

Conference topics:
CAT tools (e.g. translation memory systems), Terminology Management tools,

control, post-editing, customisation, interoperability and integration of
different systems and tools, crowd-sourcing, Natural Language Processing for
translation and interpreting, as well as translation and interpreting workflow
and management. Other important topics include training (including university
translation programmes and the effect of rapid change in the translation
industry), tools and resources for interpreters and translators, enhancing
collaboration between translators and translation companies, and mobile
technologies to support translators’ and interpreters’ work.

interpretation technologies are invited, as well as workshop proposals. Papers
and posters may report on research, commercial translation and interpretation

The short abstracts of accepted papers will be used in the online programme
