A European Language Resource Coordination workshop was held at Europe House in Valletta last Friday.
University lecturers, European Commission speakers, government bodies and language service providers got together to understand the needs of national public sector administrations with regard to automated translation, to jointly identify relevant sources of multi-lingual language resources and discuss any technical and legal issues involved in the use of data for automated translation.
ELRC (www.lr-coordination.eu) was set up to help gather data and raise awareness about the importance of language data held by public administrations.
