Aslib's TRANSLATING AND THE COMPUTER 28 Conference
16-17 November 2006, Kensington, London
------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEWS: We are pleased to announce that Yves Champollion will be the
keynote speaker.  The title of his session is:
Very Large Translation Memories: is the free model viable?
Building a set of very large translation memories supporting all
language combinations is a challenging project. The VLTM project aims
at offering translators a repository of TM in all languages, made
available for free, with a search-engine approach. The author will
explore the technical, entrepreneurial, and deontological aspects of
this idealistic project, discuss its feasibility, and present the
current state reached by the project.

Yves is a consultant working with governments and large accounts for
translation/localisation projects. He is also the developer and owner
of the Wordfast and PlusTools suite of CAT (Computer-Assisted
Translation) tools.  This suite is popular among translation agencies
and free-lance translators, with over 10,000 licenses in use.  More
news to be announced shortly.
