Translating and the Computer

The annual "Translating and the Computer" international conference and exhibition, will be held in London, UK, on 13-14 November 1997. The conference is organized by the Association of Information Management (ASLIB), with support from the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), the International Association of Machine Translation (IAMT) and the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT).

Now in its 19th year, this two-day annual conference has become a key international event in the machine translation (MT) calendar, attracting delegates from all over the world. This year's conference will look at how to evaluate various MT systems and how companies are developing new and established products to meet their needs. Key areas to be addressed will include:

- Building a lexical database on a firm (company) foundation;
- Remote-access translation services: software design with the user in focus;
- How publishers use translation tools;
- Corpus resources for MT;
- The lexical bottle neck in MT and NLP;
- The use of controlled language in MT in the car industry;
- The latest products and developments.

The programme includes a presentation of the OTELO project, supported by the Community's Telematics Applications programme. The aim of this project is to develop a complete, integrated environment for NLP (Natural Language Processing) technology.
