In this workshop the presenter will review many of these potential solutions to your localization budget woes in terms of realistic benefits, applicability to your own localization needs and implementation efforts.

The software has to be properly designed, enabled, tested and translated. This workshop will provide an overview of an efficient approach to the globalization testing of software. The Why, What, When and Who of globalization testing will be explained and best practices will be suggested. There are two main areas of globalization testing, the functional and translation testing. One of the aspects of functional globalization testing is translatability testing - determining if software can be translated. Attempting to translate software into multiple languages before it is translatable can be an expensive and frustrating experience for everyone involved so it is important to test translatability beforehand. Translatability testing allows the development team to fix translatability issues in the software before it is sent off for translation, resulting in significant translation cost savings. A translatability testing methodology called pseudo translation will be presented and the technique explained.

The seminar will take place on the 23rd of April 2010 at Free University of Brussels (2 Pleinlaan, 1050 Brussels), which is home to the department of Applied Linguistics of Erasmushogeschool Brussel since 2008. Recent work in cognitive sciences attacks the idea that conceptual knowledge can be stored and retrieved. It has been shown that knowing cannot be separated from context, experience, culture and language. Cognition is believed to be a dynamic and negotiable process in which the creative potential of language plays an important role. The question for the seminar is how the insight concerning the dynamics of cognition has its impact on the study of terminology and special language as observed in multilingual and intercultural special language communication. Contributors to the seminar will be asked to explain how they deal with the dynamic aspects of terminology and special language communication. What position do the speakers take towards the dynamics of cognition, the role of representation, embodied understanding, situatedness, cultural context? What kinds of research do they undertake concerning cognitive dynamics, special communication and terminology? What methodologies do they apply? What types of problems are encountered in a specific communicative setting (e.g. multilingual, intercultural,…)? How are these problems tackled?

Reflection Items The translation of cultural elements is often problematic. It mainly involves: - terms which are too technical, - expressions of specific visions of the world, - concepts over which there is no consensus such as those pertaining to “sense”, or “metaphysics”. Therefore, we should be asking ourselves how best to stimulate the translator so as to obtain a better intercultural communication, through a more aggressive creativity and decision-making. How to develop the student’s cognitive resources? Which references? Which texts? Which equipments? Are there norms to help teaching decision-making in translation? General Guidelines Summaries must bear the following characteristics: To be 300 words in order to be selected, please avoid lengthy summaries To be written in the languages taught in the Department of Translation and Interpreting: Arabic, French, English, Spanish and German. To include a short bibliography. A short paragraph (100 words) describing the participant's research projects and scientific interests, as well as a list of his/her main publications is to be included.

It intends to promote an Iberian-Slavonic debate on the differing republican concepts and traditions, as well as the corresponding cultural imprints. The debate in question is inspired by the 100th anniversary of the implementation of the first Republic in Portugal (5 October 1910). Res Publica(s), the Latin term referred to in the conference subtitle, is intentionally used in plural with a view to putting emphasis on its two crossing meanings: “public affairs” and “commonwealth”. The use of such a term is motivated by the organisers’ intention to renovate contemporary discourse on cultural expressions of republican ideas by situating them in the Iberian-Slavonic perspective. With its focus centred upon the literary, historical, philosophical and linguistic aspects of Slavonic and Iberian outlooks, the conference will offer an excellent opportunity to reflect upon imaginative and historical Res Publica(s) prevalent in different times and spaces. Its primary goal is to provide a forum for the discussion of various contributions from diverse fields and domains. Moreover, the conference seeks to contribute to the contemporary European reflection on republican ideas and practice in social and individual perspectives. Although preference will be given to contributions regarding comparative perspectives, papers presenting other angles will also be taken into account. Contributions may be approached from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds including, but not restricted to: anthropology, communication studies, cultural studies, gender studies, history, intercultural studies, linguistics, literary theory, media studies, pedagogy, political science, postcolonial studies, pragmatics, reception studies, sociology and translation studies. Both research on recently gained insights, as well as new perspectives on old ones, are welcome.

Companies developing products for international markets face a dizzying array of critical business issues that go far beyond translation. Standards that address the technology side of the equation are in place to help automate processes, achieve quality goals, and maximize reuse of linguistic assets. Today's challenge is how to work together standardize the procurement process for globalization as well so that buyers of these services can make accurate international development plans. This program will focus on the sourcing decisions, technology investments, and the governance structures you need to be successful in your worldwide sales and customer support strategies. Experts will also give authoritative guidance on what international business services you need and to source them. It will also show you how to design products with the features required for success in local markets to support these processes efficiently.

We wish to examine the act of theatre translation in all its multiple variations, including versions, adaptations and inter-semiotic transfers (for example from film or book to stage). How does research engage with the collaborative nature of translating for performance? We hope to expand and facilitate the dialogue between theatre practitioners and academics, illuminating the practice/theory debate. To this end we particularly welcome papers that of themselves contain a practical or performance element or that examine how we construct performance and how a performance text might be written and received. All forms of theatre translation (inter- and intra-lingual and inter-medial) will be considered. The main focus is to address and investigate both overt and implicit collaboration in translating for performance. We invite abstracts for 20 minute presentations from all graduate students currently working in Theatre (including dance and design), Translation, Performance or Language Studies, or related areas. Keywords: Theatre, text, translation, transcription, transliteration, transfiguration, performance, reception, audience, collaboration, adaptation, version, literal, literary, transculturation, neutrality, identity, otherness, ownership, agency, copyright, theory, practice.

Close to half a century later, it is clear that the discipline of Translation Studies has followed a diversity of tracks, interacting with neighbouring disciplines and exploring a range of paradigms and methodologies. At the individual level, many scholars have been taking long treks from the practice and/or teaching of Translation towards the acquisition of theoretical and methodological tools with a view to gaining fresh insights into and widening their horizons on translation and interpreting. The 6th EST Congress will provide a good opportunity to reflect upon such tracks and treks in TS. What interesting evolutionary patterns can be identified in our young discipline, including TS ‘turns’, concepts, theories and research methods? Can these patterns be identified in the interests and work of Translation scholars? How has the TS community grown in terms of demographics, branches and sub-branches? How do they communicate and interact? What progress has been achieved in the investigation of various aspects of Translation, including Translation cognition, Translator training, Translation quality, Translation in its cultural environment and Translation in its social environment? And what new insights are being provided by historical, sociological and scientometric studies and overviews? Which are the new and emerging tracks that will lead to successful treks in TS?

As the articulated nature of the subtitle suggests, the theme will highlight two processes in a redefinition of our disciplines: - research and debate in areas which are traditionally seen as being at the margins of our concern yet which can be seen as having a potentially significant, central role; - research and debate which extends the limits of our concern into new areas, possibly through collaboration with related disciplines. We therefore welcome proposals which aim to address either of these two processes, emphasising the exploratory, experimental nature of new or reconstructed concepts, frameworks of analysis, or approaches in any of the four main disciplines. Proposals are invited for papers (40 minutes) and brief presentations followed by a led discussion (40 mins).

Hybrids of face to face communication and the written word have appeared through social networking and the use of mobile phones. Face to face interaction may no longer mean two people in the same room talking. Increasing contact between people from different cultures in the business world and beyond has led to a greater realisation of a need to understand the values and attitudes that drive behaviours and discourse. More than ever before education has become a commercialised utility. Learners are now clients and customer satisfaction is a prime motivating factor in judging the quality of any education programme. This year's conference will examine the impact of these changes on language education. It will consider how the communications revolution and the rise of the cultural agenda have affected expectations in both receiver (the learner, the learner's sponsor - human resources manager etc) and the education professional. It will examine whether the expectations are realistic and how they might be met. Is it the case that the language end user just doesn't understand the process of language learning or is it that language educators are just not very good at communicating with the wider world? The conference will look at current challenges faced in the design and delivery of language education and in the measurement of both the performance of learners and the quality of language programmes. Focus will be placed on the teacher perspective, the cultural perspective, the learner perspective and the perspective of those who pay for training. Speakers will consider practical solutions as well as wider implications about where language education is heading. It will be based around contributions from keynote speakers which will lead into panel discussions on the main themes of the conference. The panel discussions will in turn feed into workshops which will focus on the various perspectives in greater detail. Results from the discussions, practical solutions, etc will then feedback into the plenary forum. Time will be given for members and others to promote products, projects and publications and there will be an exhibition area for presenting new materials.
