------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Aslib's TRANSLATING AND THE COMPUTER 28 Conference 16-17 November 2006, Kensington, London ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- Latest 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 tra nslation/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.
