***Translations & Open Science calls for tenders***
The OPERAS Research Infrastructure launches a series of calls for
tenders in order to lay the foundation of a technology-based scientific
translation service to foster multilingualism in scholarly communication
and thus help to remove language barriers according to Open Science
principles.
The first two calls are now open (submission deadline: 7 October 2022)
1. Mapping and collection of scientific bilingual corpora: identifying,
collecting and preparing corpora of bilingual scientific texts which
will serve as training dataset for specialised translation engines,
source data for terminology extraction, and translation memory creation

2. Use case study for a technology-based scientific translation service:
drafting an overview of the current translation practices and challenges
in scholarly communication and defining the use cases of a
technology-based scientific translation service (expected users and
usage scenarios, features, quality requirements, editorial and technical
workflows)
