The objective of the conference is to bring together academics in linguistics, translation studies, machine translation, translation tools and natural language processing, as well as developers, practitioners, language service providers and vendors who work on or are interested in different aspects of technology for translation. The conference will be a distinctive event for discussing the latest developments and practices in translation and technology. NeTTT'2022 invites all professionals who would like to learn about recent trends, present their latest work, and/or share their experiences in the field; the conference will be an idea place to establish business and research contacts, collaborations and new ventures. The conference will feature a research track and an industry track and will take the form of presentations (peer-reviewed research and industry presentations, as well as keynote speeches), and posters. The authors of the accepted abstracts will be offered the opportunity to write up full papers which will be published as open-access conference e-proceedings. NeTTT'2022 will be preceded by a two-day summer school (2-3 July) on Neural Machine Translation, a workshop on Translation Technology for Creative Domains (3 July) and a series of tutorials on July 7. *Conference topics * We expect contributions to the following topics: *(A) Research track * Submissions are invited for papers reporting on original work related to any topic regarding the latest technology used in machine translation (MT), human translation, computer-assisted translation (CAT), audiovisual translation (AVT), localisation and interpreting.
