Meeting Description:

AsLing (The International Association for Advancement in Language Technology)
is delighted to announce that it will host the 40th edition of Translating and
the Computer Conference (TC40) on 15 and 16 November 2018 in London.

The TC conference series is a leading forum for users, developers and vendors
of translation and interpretation technology tools where latest developments
and practices are presented and discussed. It is a distinctive event where
translators, interpreters, researchers and business people from translation
and interpretation services providers and tools vendors, international
organisations, universities and research labs as well as freelance
professionals, interact, exchange ideas and discuss current trends.

TC conferences take the form of peer-reviewed presentations and posters, and
feature panel discussions and workshops.

Call for Papers:

Contributions are invited on any topic related to the technology used in
translation and interpreting, including, but not limited to CAT tools (e.g.
Translation Memory (TM) systems), Terminology Management, Machine Translation
(incl. neural Machine Translation (NMT); rule-based MT; statistical Machine
Translation (SMT); use of MT; integration of MT in TM systems; quality
assessment; post-editing; customisation and MT engine training), Quality
Control, Interoperability, Natural Language Processing for translation and
interpreting as well as Localisation, Translation Workflow and management.
Other important topics are training (including university translation
programmes and the rapidly changing translation industry), tools and resources
for translators, how to facilitate collaboration between translators and
translation companies, and mobile technologies to support translators’ and
interpreters’ work. The conference seeks contributions to help us continue to
pursue last year’s focus on how interpreters can be supported by new and
evolving tools.

Submission guidelines:

AsLing invites proposals for original unpublished papers on all aspects of
translation and interpretation technologies in four categories at its 40th
anniversary Translating and the Computer conference:

- Proposal for a presentation at the conference and a paper for publication in
the conference Proceedings. Papers of accepted proposals will be expected to
adhere to the academic style guidelines, and will be published in the
conference Proceedings with an assigned ISBN.

- Proposals for a talk at the conference about new and innovative procedures
and concepts, and on all aspects of user experiences with new and evolving
translation and interpretation technologies. If accepted, such a proposal may
optionally be accompanied by a paper for publication in the conference
Proceedings. Authors will have the choice of submitting a paper following the
academic style guidelines, or one expressing themselves more freely.

- Proposals reporting original unpublished ideas or presenting an ongoing,
evolving project may be submitted as a “Poster“. Note, though, that while
judged against “poster” criteria, should it be accepted, the author will be
expected to make a short presentation to a room full of conference
participants, followed by a short Question & Answer session, not in the form
of a large-format wall-mounted paper poster; the latter are not permitted at
the venue. Subsequent “Poster” papers will be expected to adhere to the
academic style guidelines, albeit will be shorter than full papers.

- If you wish to hold a Workshop related to any of the above, please submit
your proposal as a Workshop proposal, outlining what you wish to provide your
workshop participants and which outcomes you expect as the result of your
workshop, for participants as well as for you. While workshop authors may also
submit a formal paper ahead of the conference, for inclusion in the conference
Proceedings, AsLing will invite workshop moderators to provide a paper after
the conference outlining what transpired during the workshop. Such post facto
papers will be made accessible on the AsLing conference website.

Papers and posters may report on research, commercial translation and
interpretation products or user experiences. Workshop reports should describe
the outcome of what was achieved.

Papers (academic and non-academic)

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.
A short biography and photos of all authors is also requested. 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, bios and
photos of accepted papers will be used in the 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
1,500 words. Authors should submit a 500-word version as well as a short
biography and photos of all authors for dissemination purposes.

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.

Workshop proposals

Workshop proposals are limited to 750 words. They should describe the
topic/goal of the workshop and provide an outline of how the proposed workshop
will be structured. Proposers should also submit a 200-word version as well as
a short biography and photos of all authors and moderators for dissemination
purposes.

Formatting

The Conference website will provide formatting guidelines in the form of Word
and LaTeX stylesheets. Academic papers and posters will be expected to adhere
strictly to these guidelines. Papers relating to user experiences or other
non-academic presentations will be permitted greater freedom. As papers on
workshops will only be completed after the end of the conference, details of
their format will be worked out with the moderators later in the year.

Submissions

All proposals should be submitted via the START conference submission system:
