*Translating and the Computer – 36, London, 27/28 November 2014* *Translating and the Computer attracts* a unique amalgam of researchers, developers and users. It brings together academics involved in language technology research and in teaching translation and terminology with those who develop and market tools for language transformation and both of these groups with users: translators, terminologists, interpreters, and voice-over specialists, whether freelancers or working in translation departments of large organisations such as those of the European Parliament, European courts and the European Patent Office, the United Nations family, international companies and other organisations, and Language Services Providers (LSPs), large and small. First the Computer, then the Internet and more recently the Cloud, are changing and remodelling expectations and processes in the Language and Localization industries. These changes are accompanied by new requirements for standards and interoperability. The digital age is modifying the concept of text and quality. Content is a key item together with strings, chunks, segments and words. In its 36th session *Translating and the Computer* has moved from ASLIB to *ASLING*. The conference often referred to as the “ASLIB Conference” is now the *ASLING Translating and the Computer Conference.* *ASLING* is working hard to ensure that this conference remains a key date in your calendar to help you keep in touch. To do this we need the support and contributions of all those who are interested in sharing their knowledge and ideas on the latest developments in an extremely stimulating sector, and equally interested in hearing other contributions. If you, or one of your colleagues, have something important to announce or discuss, we urge you to consider presenting a paper at this conference. Abstracts must be submitted using the START system at the following address: *https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014 <https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014>*. *The deadline for submissions is extended to July 14th; authors will be notified of acceptance by August 7th.* For further details of the *Call for Abstracts*, please see *Call for Abstracts* at:*http://**www.translatingandthecomputer.com* <http://www.translatingandthecomputer.com/> .
