The QTLaunchPad Project

QTLaunchPad (www.qt21.eu/launchpad) is a European Commission-funded project which is preparing a large-scale research and innovation initiative focusing on quality translation technology for the 21st century. This effort is of interest to the whole MT community, and it involves a variety of stakeholders, including academics, researchers, technology developers and integrators, translation buyers, professional translators and language service providers.

The QTLaunchPad Workshop at EAMT 2014

As part of the ongoing engagement and dissemination activities, QTLaunchPad is organising a workshop supported by EAMT which will take place immediately before the Seventeenth Annual EAMT Conference in Dubrovnik (Croatia), on Sunday 15th June 2014. The main aims of this workshop are to present the tools and technologies developed by QTLaunchPad, elicit feedback from (potential) users, and discuss issues revolving around the central concern of quality translation, so that we can exchange opinions on where we are now in this respect, and discuss ways forward as to where we are (or should be) going next.
The workshop programme includes talks given by Bogdan Babych (University of Leeds), Christian Federmann (Microsoft), Lucia Specia (University of Sheffield), Jost Zetzsche (International Writers' Group) who will share their substantial expertise on several key aspects of quality translation.
