TRANSLATING AND THE COMPUTER 28 Conference
(16-17 November 2006, Kensington, London).
Sponsors: TILP and Alchemy Software Development
Supported by: BCS, EAMT, IAMT, IoL and ITI
This conference focuses on the user's perspective of how computers/software
are used in translation. The conference series attracts a wide audience
which includes 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 and 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.
