*************************************************************
22nd Conference
"Translating and the Computer"
16-17 November 2000
One Great George Street, London, SW1
************************************************************* The annual
conference "Translating and the Computer" has been an important forum for
Machine Translation and Translation Aids users over the past 21 years. The
conference is one of the few international events which focuses on the
user aspects of translation software and as such has been particularly
beneficial to a very wide audience including translators, business
managers, researchers and language experts.
Against the background of an increasingly multilingual society and the
all-encompassing impact of information technology, this year's conference
will address the latest developments in translation (and
translation-related) software.
This call for papers invites abstracts of papers to be presented at the
conference. The papers (and the presentations) should focus on the user
aspects of translation or translation-related software rather than on
research and development issues. Presentations accompanied by
demonstrations are especially welcome.
TOPICS
The range of conference topics includes (but is not limited to) * use of
Machine Translation (MT) systems
* machine-aided translation and translation aids
* memory based translation
* controlled languages and their use in MT
* speech translation
* terminology
* localisation
* translation aids for minority languages
* multilingual document management/workflow
* experience of companies using translation software
* translating and the computer: the new millennium challenges * the
Internet and translation aids
