 ___________________________\n\n \n\nSilicon Valley oracle Tim O’Reilly onc
 e declared that “what new technology does is create new opportunities to d
 o a job that customers want done.” The latest\, and very powerful\, advanc
 es in machine translation are indeed a resource to be harnessed – intellig
 ently\, advisedly and proactively – by language professionals looking to e
 xpand their arsenal of marketable skills. Chief among these skills in this
  context is post-editing\, the process by which trained human translators 
 revise and improve machine translation output.\n\nBut what exactly are the
  advantages of post-editing from the point of view of individual translato
 rs and language service providers? Does it lead to marked improvements in 
 terms of process (productivity and workflow)\, product (quality and consis
 tency) and producer (job satisfaction and bottom line)? Are there specific
  areas where post-editing is particularly useful? What kind of standards a
 nd procedures can be drawn on to guide\, facilitate and optimize post-edit
 ing work? And how can established and aspiring language professionals take
  advantage of these systems to propel their careers forward?\n\nCome be a 
 part of the conversation\, as we sit down with three successful industry p
 rofessionals and ask them to weigh in on the perks of post-editing.\n\nThi
 s is part of an ongoing series of events organized by the McGill Translati
 on Studies Unit to reflect on the future of translation within the broader
  language industry.\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n	6 p.m.: Welcome and opening remarks
