Language translation is critical for global business, knowledge sharing and learning. Translation helps to foster education, drive innovation, spur growth, develop countries and lead discovery. Translation is a key to a better world. No wonder that the translation industry in Asia is booming. It is time for an innovation-focused translation conference in Asia. It is time for the TAUS Asia Translation Summit.
The TAUS Asia Translation Summit is a strategic and future-oriented conference for everyone who cares about translation services and technologies in Asian languages. This is a call for proposals and participation.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE TAUS ASIA TRANSLATION SUMMIT
We break with a long history of facing the world from the west, of exporting and pushing products to far-away markets. We open up new perspectives through technology, collaboration on open platforms, and sharing resources. We bring together buyers and providers of translation services and technologies in Asian languages to discuss “Translation in the 21st Century”.
NOT ANOTHER CONFERENCE
The TAUS Asia Translation Summit is an open forum. Our goal is to inspire a truly and open minded approach to innovation and collaboration. Instead of the usual industry navel gazing, our speakers and panels will address the world’s and Asia’s real language communication challenges. How do we bridge the language divide for seven billion co-citizens? This is a mission that – for the first time in history – is ambitious, but no longer impossible.
WHO IS COMING
The TAUS Asia Translation Summit will attract a large audience. We are expecting delegates from all stakeholder groups (enterprises, governments, NGO’s, associations) as well as providers of technologies and services, translation and language professionals. Video broadcasting, blogs and online forums will expand the reach and impact of the TAUS Asia Translation Summit.
WHY PARTICIPATE
The translation industry is changing fast. Everyone and everything is connected already or will be very soon. Ubiquitous computing, content explosion, many-to-many communication… are some of the buzz words used to refer to the new emerging reality. The missing link in this new reality is easy and fast translation. Yet, we know that very soon this will also be possible. The technology is there. We just need to know how to embrace it, improve it, use it. At the TAUS Asia Translation Summit we will break new ground in automation, innovation and global collaboration. By participating you will help your language, your profession and your business prosper.
TRANSLATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Topics of what you may expect at the TAUS Asia Translation Summit are all part of our concept of “Translation in the 21st Century”. The key words are:
