Conclusions

• Researchers achieved their goals

• I do hope industry adopt their “assets”

• I´d like to be more involved and shared interests and experiences

Rome – May 2016

What´s next?

QAing tools

Dublin – September 2014

• Academia does not teach about QA tools/main issues related to QA

• Translators are not always so involved in QA processes carried out by SLVs/industry

But, who cares about quality?

Rome – May 2016

As TM and MT have already landed and

set, e-Trad hopes research would be interested in QA tools and we´d be glad

to share our internal work to collaborate
