Message from the President | Mot du président

Dear AILIA members and colleagues, As the business world continues to evolve and transform itself in order to adapt to new COVID realities, so is AILIA as an organization representing translation service vendors and language interests in Canada. This week we hosted a digital webinar with the subject: Returning back to work, and the legal implications of employers/employees, our experts from Fasken helped our audience get the latest information on this topic. Also this week, AILIA’s President was quoted in a Slator article on the topic of COVID translation business impact in Canada. As we continue to adapt our approach to keeping our members and the public connected, more events and activities will be planned in a digital format. For example, our annual meetings and the AILIA Rendezvous event will be moving to an interactive digital format which our events committee is actively working on now. They will also be announcing other upcoming digital events. This is also a great news for our sponsors, whose support we deeply appreciate. Due to the fact that social distancing and moving events to a digital format, logistical costs associated with travel are reduced without reducing real value to our sponsors or risking the health and wellness of our members. | Chers collègues et membres de l'AILIA, Alors que le monde des affaires continue d'évoluer et de se transformer à mesure qu'il s'adapte aux nouvelles réalités de la COVID-19, l'AILIA, en tant qu'organisation représentant les fournisseurs de services de traduction et les intérêts linguistiques au Canada, en fait de même. Cette semaine, nous avons organisé un webinaire ayant pour thème Retour au travail et implication juridique employeur/employé, à l'occasion duquel nos experts de Fasken ont aidé les participants à obtenir les plus récentes nouvelles sur ce sujet. Cette semaine, le président de l'AILIA a été cité dans un article de Slator sur l'impact de la COVID-19 sur l'industrie de la traduction au Canada. Par ailleurs, l'AILIA continue d'adapter son approche pour garder ses membres et le public informés en planifiant des événements et des activités numériques. Notre comité des événements travaille actuellement à transformer nos réunions annuelles et les rendez-vous de l'AILIA dans un format numérique interactif et fera l'annonce d'autres événements numériques à venir. Il s'agit également d'une excellente nouvelle pour nos commanditaires, dont nous apprécions le soutien apporté à notre association et à l'industrie langagière au Canada, puisque l'éloignement physique et la tenue d'événements numériques réduisent les coûts de déplacement et protègent la santé des gens sans compromettre la valeur de la commandite. |

Read: Jost Reviews Terminotix's Bilingual Web Search in Tool Box Journal
Bilingual Web Search |
I met briefly with Jean-François Richard of Terminotix (LogiTerm, AlignFactory, SynchroTerm) who showed me Bilingual Web Search, his new product. He's excited about it, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of you will like it as well. This is how it works: You enter a language combination in the web-based interface, choose one of the predefined websites or enter a new one with the language combination you need, and then enter the term you're looking for. Clever, huh? Here are a couple of things to consider: There's a huge difference in the number of preconfigured websites for the different language combinations (English> French = a whole lot, English> Inuktitut = not so much -- i.e., nothing). Also, if you enter a new website to crawl and look for bilingual terminology, you'll succeed only if the structure of the website follows a clear pattern. And, of course, there's a limit on the language combinations presently available. As I said, though, Jean-François is excited about the product, so he wants to make it work for you. You can write to him at his email to let him know what language combinations you'd like and what websites you'd like to see preconfigured. Cost? Exactly as much as the usage of the tool: nothing. |
