Abstracts for the 30^th conference in the series are invited.  This conference focuses on the user's perspective of how computers/software is used in translation. The conference series attracts a wide audience which includes translation services managers, 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.
