The Author-Translator in the European Literary Tradition
Swansea University, 28 June - 1 July 2010

Confirmed keynote speakers include:
Susan Bassnett, David Constantine, Lawrence Venuti

The recent “creative turn” in translation studies has challenged notions of translation as a derivative and uncreative activity which is inferior to “original” writing. Commentators have drawn attention to the creative processes involved in the translation of texts, and suggested a rethinking of translation as a form of creative writing. Hence there is growing critical and theoretical interest in translations undertaken by literary authors. Read More...

The conference will traditionally focus on management issues for the translation and localisation industry.

The theme of TM-Europe 2009 is “Quality and Terminology Management, and Business Terms and Conditions for Translation and Localisation Services”.

Among the speakers will be representatives from Oracle, SAP, the European Parliament, Lingualinx, Comsys, and others. The conference will include presentations and panel discussions relating to quality management, terminology management and other translation management topics, as well as workshops on translation technology and sales.

The Warsaw Pact debate will focus on the business relationship between customers and vendors and will be webcast on the Internet. MultiLingual Magazine is the Official Media Patron of TM-Europe 2009.

We are hosting a localisation un-conference in Dublin.
What's an un-conference? Basically, a localisation conference which you get to shape according to your interests. The programme is created collaboratively by the participants, as we go along, and the final agenda will be set on the day - somehow.

Have a look here for more information and how to get involved:
http://localizationunconference.com/

Who's behind this? See here:
http://localizationunconference.com/blog/?page_id=6

This is your chance to talk about the localisation stuff that really matters to you, instead of suffering death-by-powerpoint. Some of the things we could talk about:

social networking site translation, mashup internationalization, vendors, hiring, quality, open source tools, Unicode, pseudo-translation, mobile technology, global privacy or legal issues, Klingon language specialists, ...

You name it.

To register your interest, have a look here (doesn't mean that you have to come - it's free anyway):

Cheers,

Martin
