Meeting Description:

To celebrate the conclusion of eCoLoRe (eContent Localisation Resources for
Translator Training) and the launch of MeLLANGE (Multilingual eLearning in
LANGuage Engineering), both funded by LEONARDO, we have organised this
international forum for researchers, trainers, practitioners and tool
providers.

We invite you to share your experience of designing, creating and using
resources for training in translation and localisation, especially in an
e-learning environment, by offering a paper or a poster or simply by
joining the discussions. 

OUTLINE PROGRAMME
Keynote speakers Bert Esselink (Lionbridge Technologies Inc) and Klaus
Schubert (Fachhochschule Flensburg) will present an industry view on
training needs and an account of e-learning for translation memory tools.

Tutorials and hands-on workshops will introduce: translation memory and
software localisation tools; translation project management; XML for
translators.

Round-tables will bring together academics and practitioners, trainers and
tools providers, 'traditional' and 'technological' translation teachers.

Exhibitions by leading providers will show the state of the art in
translation technologies.

WORKSHOP THEMES
Papers and posters are invited to address the following broad issues
- e-learning in translator training
- corpora in translator training
- curriculum design
- quality standards in translation
- annotation schemes for translator errors
