AILIA to host the 2019 ISO TC 37 International Meetings in Ottawa: Sponsorship opportunities available

In 2019, Canada will host the most important ISO language standards event, the ISO TC 37 International Meetings, to be held from June 23 to June 28, 2019 in Ottawa. The meetings are hosted by AILIA (the Canadian Language Industry Association) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), and co-hosted by the University of Ottawa. Language experts from over 60 countries are expected to attend.

The mission of ISO technical committee 37 is to serve all fields and applications, where human-human and human-machine communication are involved. This refers in particular to the language industry products, such as language technology tools and content resources, and language services. The standards this committee produces are fundamental for language resource management, knowledge management, and content management.

Governments, intergovernmental organizations and an increasing number of enterprises also use ISO TC 37 standards for the formulation of policies concerning the use of language as such, or in relation to education, information and knowledge management. A number of studies have been conducted demonstrating the increasing demands for innovative approaches to foster multilingualism and the return on investment for managing terminology and other language and content resources according to ISO TC 37 standards.

TC37 is recognized for having an impact horizontally across all industries, which is strategically important for the whole process of standardization, and its five subcommittees are:

ISO/TC 37/SC 1 Principles and methods

ISO/TC 37/SC 2 Terminology workflow and language coding

ISO/TC 37/SC 3 Management of terminology resources

ISO/TC 37/SC 4 Language resource management

ISO/TC 37/SC 5 Translation, interpreting and related technology

Major language industry providers have come forward to support the event.

Dans ce compte rendu publié dans la revue Meta (volume 63, numéro 2), James Archibald, professeur en traduction à l’Université McGill, a recensé le produit du dernier colloque d’une série portant sur les rapports entre la politique et la traduction. Cette série de colloques était l’initiative d’un groupe de chercheurs de divers pays. Le premier dans la série a eu lieu à McGill, et le trajet s’est poursuivi avec des colloques sur la traduction et la géopolitique à Toulouse, Grenoble et Paris pour clôturer les travaux de recherche en 2018 à l’Université McGill à l’occasion du colloque sur le rôle du traducteur militant.

La directrice de la publication citée était membre du comité scientifique des colloques qui se sont tenus à la Sorbonne et à l’Université McGill. M^me Guillaume est maître de conférences à l’Université Paris Sorbonne (Paris IV).

Le groupe de chercheurs a été formé initialement par James Archibald et Mathieu Guidère, anciennement professeur de traduction et d’islamologie à Toulouse, à l’Université de Genève et à l’Université Paris 8. Il est actuellement chercheur au CNRS.
