Here
are some points we would like to address:

Establish a scientific committee who will be reviewing the papers and
decide the main topic directions of the symposium. If you are interested in
taking part of the scientific committee, please send us an email indicating your interest.

Decide the topic for the “call for papers”. Some proposals:

 
Present and future

     XLIFF in commercial tools

     standards

 
Case studies

     terminology and translation memory into XLIFF
