In these environments, translation has to be seen by management as a positive enhancement to the promotion and sales of company products. For those involved in the provison of company translations the cost-effective exploitation of the most appropriate translation software and the careful design of operational workflows are of crucial importance. At the 1997 workshop in Copenhagen, it was decided that the meeting in Geneva should focus on the integration of MT and translation tools in the overall documentation workflow.", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "John Hutchins", "sec_num": null }, { "text": "The proceedings published in this volume include all the papers (with one exception) presented at the workshop in Geneva in April 1998, plus one paper submitted but not presented (the description of PARS by Mikhael Blekhman) and three presentations not originally included in the programme.

It will take place at the Hotel Krystal in Prague on 22nd and 23rd April 1999, and is being organised by Eva Hajicova and colleagues at the Charles University. It promises to be a successful and enjoyable meeting, and we hope that many of those who have attended previous EAMT workshops will be able to be in Prague.", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "John Hutchins", "sec_num": null } ], "back_matter": [], "bib_entries": {}, "ref_entries": {} } }
