TRANSLATING AND THE COMPUTER 25 CONFERENCE, 20-21 November 2003, London
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. The event, which is organised 
by Aslib, has the support of EAMT, IAMT, BCS - Natural Language Group, 
Institute of Linguists.
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 espe  
cially welcome.
