The 5th edition of the Translating Europe Forum (TEF) will focus on how translators can work in an industry that is changing rapidly.
Data are becoming more and more important, but what kind of data? How can translators benefit from the data they produce? How will artificial intelligence affect the language industry and individual translators? How is neural machine translation changing the translation profession? What is the EU doing? What about sharing translation data - what are the legal and practical aspects? These and other questions will be addressed at 2018 TEF.
The aim of the event is to inform practitioners about their possibilities to make it in today's and tomorrow's language services market and to raise awareness of the role of data in this changing industry.

The European Commission is the executive body of the EU and runs its day-to-day business. It is made up of the College of Commissioners, 27 European Commissioners, one for each member state, who are each responsible for one or several policy areas. In addition, the 'Commission' also refers to the entire administrative body that supports the Commissioners, consisting of the Directorates-General and the Services.
The European Commission is the sole EU body capable of proposing new legislation. The Commission also performs an oversight function, monitoring whether European legislation is properly implemented in the member states. In the event of non-compliance, the Commission can coerce a member state to comply by starting a legal procedure at the European Court of Justice.
