1.1.1. List of Themes



The following themes (from the clusters from the braimstorming cards session) were left apart in order to allow more time for demos (see the next section below)

1.2. Breakout session notes


Here are the notes from the various breakout sessions:

Collaboration between professionals & amateurs




  • professional vs amateur
- paid translators => "professionals"
- non-paid => "amateurs"
- "established providers" vs. the "actual/occasional users"
- who can afford which tools ?

  • online translation market places
- value ?
- freelancers => agency takes 50% to 90% cut
- new online platforms => grow into new gateways
- long tail theory
- e.g. Amazon, iTunes music store
- natural evolution ?

  • open source tools
- poutin => edit PO files
- learning curve vs. license price of commercial tools
- support ?
- use of open formats - e.g. within LISA

  • Google Translation engine
- who contributes traslations ?
- vs. open source TM tools

  • Ownership of translated content by a freelancer
- terms are shared
- not full texts - copyright issues

  • text edits on translation-related subjects on Wikipedia
- several versions
- no source & target languages - translation are developed parallel

  • collab. between prof. & amateur
- e.g. list of "false friends"
