================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at

Dear all,

My name is Isabel Durán, a researcher at the University of Málaga (Spain).
Nowadays, my research group is involved in a project about Translation
Memories, their quality, and translators' opinions about them. In order to
know the problems of these tools, we also need the comments of
professionals that are working with them all the time. That's why we need
your help.

My group would be very pleased if you could tell us what you think about
the current Translation Memories, your unsatisfied necessities,
enhancements you would like to find, problems you have, information you
need, and so on. That is, give us as much feedback as you can to know how
current TM should be improved.

(Please, also provide the name of the TM you are talking about)

Thanks in advance! 

Linguistic Field(s): Translation

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
