Earlier this year Language Technology Centre Ltd conducted a study on behalf of the Directorate General for Translation of the European Commission (DGT) on the size of the language industry in the European Union (see my post »»»here«««).
Now the study is over and a report is issued.
The study report gives an ample picture of the various activities involved in this dynamic industry with a high growth and innovation potential. Data have been collected and analysed by subsectors, such as translation and interpreting, localising and globalising, subtitling and dubbing, language technology tools, and language teaching as well as by Member State, thus highlighting best practices and/or gaps in relevant information.
Here is an executive summary of this report.
In this regard, the Directorate-General for Translation is now organising a conference to present the results of the study, which it will later publish in full on its website. The conference will take place on 27 November 2009 in Brussels.
Here you can find a draft programme of the conference.
For those who cannot participate, the conference will be fully webstreamed on this website.
