    23rd Annual Conference and Exhibition:

    TRANSLATING AND THE COMPUTER

    29-30 November 2001

    One Great George Street, London SW1

    Supported by: IAMT, EAMT, BCS and ITI

    This conference is one of the few international events which focuses on the user aspects of translation software and as such has been particularly beneficial to a very wide audience including translators, business managers, researchers and language experts. Once again, this year the conference will address the latest developments in translation (and translation-related) software. It will address the needs of the following conference attendees:

    - industry

    - public administration

    - agencies

    - freelancers

    - development

    This call for papers invites abstracts of papers to be presented at the conference. The papers (and the presentations) should focus on the user aspects of translation or translation-related software rather than on theoretical issues. Presentations accompanied by demonstrations are especially welcome.

    TOPICS

    The range of topics includes (but is not limited to)

    - use of MT systems

    - machine-aided translation and translation aids

    - controlled languages and their use in MT

    - speech translation

    - terminology

    - localisation

    - multilingual document management/workflow

    - case studies of technology-based solutions

    - the Internet and translation aids/services

    - the value of "free" versus "charging" services/sites on the Internet
