A shift in the paradigm of translation practice seems necessary. Maybe freelancing is no longer the best or the only option for translators to be in the market place, and a new approach should be devised that takes advantage of the opportunities brought by the latest technological innovations.
Adelante con juicio: manicheismo e ragionevolezza nell’evoluzione della linguaLuigi Muzii
Purismo e protezionismo linguistico sono di sicuro tratti sciovinisti specialmente quando diventano ossessivi e maniacali e si rivelano spesso controproducenti perché sintomo di avvertita debolezza, tipici di un falso problema sollevato da una classe dirigente ipocrita e incolta che se ne serve come alibi per l’elusione dei propri impegni e interpreta la difesa della lingua come una sorta di Fortezza Bastiani. I traduttori sono tra i più fervidi difensori della lingua anche se dovrebbero esserne soprattutto testimoni dell’evoluzione e sono impegnati soprattutto sul fronte della lotta all’impoverimento della lingua di cui la semplificazione sarebbe il primo passo. Ma la semplicità rappresenta davvero un pericolo?
Term Mining and Terminology Management in a Corporate Setting PerspectiveLuigi Muzii
The time spent looking for and not finding information cost an organization a total of $6 million a year, not including opportunity costs or the costs of reworking existing information that could not be located. Only 41% of localization-mature organizations have some terminology management policy in place, almost solely translation-oriented. Then we must show how terminology management works, demonstrate its power, through controlled languages, ontologies, search engine applications, content and knowledge management applications, and e-learning systems.

Has the washing machine changed the world more than the Internet? Do the latest technological advances really free translators or just tether them to their desks more than before? Why should one consider switching to cloud computing? We will search an answer to these questions by discussing cloud computing and collaborative translation technology to make process simpler, lean, and parallel and face the new translation industry mantra of “cheaper, faster, and better” to meet the growth in volume, velocity, and volatility. Doing more with less costs more, and technology is not enough; it must always be coupled with people.
Measuring for success: Goals, performances, and outcomesLuigi Muzii
Every business should measure performances against goals, substantiate its existence, and justify paychecks on solid arguments and data that customers can understand. This presentation focuses on the value KPI may show of a business. Suggestions are given about developing KPIs that can be understood by customers.

The slide deck of the presentation given on June 16 at Localization World 34 in Barcelona.
To successfully run an MT platform and MT projects, a very specific skillset is needed. The right combination of MT and post-editing (PE) can help reduce turn-around times even in low-tech contexts while maximizing cost-effectiveness.
This presentation introduces to the strategies for an effective solution for translation buyers and vendors.
Read about the dos and don’ts when dealing with MT + PE in regard to improving productivity and increasing speed and ease of translation; the best setup for an operating environment based on the right project requirements and practices specifically devised; and the primary challenges posed by MT and PE, as preparing data, assessing quality of outputs, estimating the post-editing effort, vetting, selecting, instructing and compensating human resources.
