ASLIB - Call for Papers

Translating and the Computer 34 - Conference and Exhibition
29th - 30th November 2012, London, UK
Translating and the Computer (TC) is a conference which focuses on the user aspects of translation and translation-related software. It serves as a unique and beneficial meeting point for a wide audience including translators from large multinational institutions such as the EU and UN, from translation agencies across the world but also freelance translators, tools and technology developers, language experts, software vendors, business managers, researchers and academics. In addition to presentations on current issues of translation and translation technology, the conference features panel and user group discussions on topics of interest to the conference audience.
This call for papers invites extended abstracts of papers to be presented at the conference. The papers (and presentations) should focus on the user aspects of translation and translation technology and/or on a range of topics which are being discussed within the translation industry. Presentations accompanied by demonstrations are especially welcome.
