 *Translating and the Computer – 36, London, 27/28 November 2014*


*Translating and the Computer attracts* a unique amalgam of researchers,
developers and users. It brings together academics involved in language
technology research and in teaching translation and terminology with those
who develop and market tools for language transformation and both of these
groups with users: translators, terminologists, interpreters, and
voice-over specialists, whether freelancers or working in translation
departments of large organisations such as those of the European
Parliament, European courts and the European Patent Office, the United
Nations family, international companies and other organisations, and
Language Services Providers (LSPs), large and small.

First the Computer, then the Internet and more recently the Cloud, are
changing and remodelling expectations and processes in the Language and
Localization industries. These changes are accompanied by new requirements
for standards and interoperability. The digital age is modifying the
concept of text and quality. Content is a key item together with strings,
chunks, segments and words.

In its 36th session *Translating and the Computer* has moved from ASLIB to
*ASLING*. The conference often referred to as the “ASLIB Conference” is now
the *ASLING Translating and the Computer Conference.*

*ASLING* is working hard to ensure that this conference remains a key date
in your calendar to help you keep in touch. To do this we need the support
and contributions of all those who are interested in sharing their
knowledge and ideas on the latest developments in an extremely stimulating
sector, and equally interested in hearing other contributions. If you, or
one of your colleagues, have something important to announce or discuss, we
urge you to consider presenting a paper at this conference.

Abstracts must be submitted using the START system at the following
address: *https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014
<https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014>* .


*The deadline for submissions is extended to July 14th; authors will be
notified of acceptance by August 7th.*
