Hi Laurie, One of the objectives of what we do is actually to bring the two together. A very short introduction: http://www.digitalsonata.com/linguist.aspx . Is this something in your scope? When is the deadline? November is a bit too far in the future to plan ahead I'm afraid...

_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurie Gerber Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 3:22 To: [email protected] Subject: [Mt-list] Seeking open-minded MT developers! The communities of translators (that's *human* translators) and MT developers have limited interaction. Translators are not often attracted to fully automated translation, and MT developers have concluded that translators are not the most promising potential customers. But surely with all the sophistication of MT systems, there are components, at least, that could be put to work to help translators as they would like to be helped? And surely in the wide world of translators, there are some who are ready to leverage the full realm of available tools and technology? We are proposing a workshop, sponsored by AMTA, to be held at the ATA (American Translator's Association) conference in Tampa, Florida (Nov 5-8, 2008) "to bring together professional translators and MT developers to better understand each other's objectives and concerns and to explore mutually beneficial ways to cooperate." If you are an MT developer and would be interested in sending a representative to participate in this workshop, please contact me: Laurie Gerber Treasurer, AMTA [EMAIL PROTECTED] 619-523-8550
