Economic Engineering for Translators by Chris Blakeslee
This is an exploration of the freelance translator as economic animal, maximizing a utility function. Most translators, like other humans, want it all, or at least more than they can have. Plenty of leisure time, plenty of disposable income, and intellectually satisfying work. But what is the best mix? The answer of course varies across individuals and across time with the same individual. This presentation presents the economic framework, complete with simple mathematical formulas, for translators to find their own best mix, while also exploring such questions as when to outsource a task and when to do it yourself.

Using Translation Memory to Track Elements in Patent Translation by Charles Aschmann
This presentation will take a practical look at one aspect of using translation memory in patent translation. I will use Déjà Vu and Felix to demonstrate the concept in the two basic translation memory environments (standalone and word processor or other software dependent). I will touch on applying it with other translation memory systems such as Trados and OmegaT, given their limitations. If you use translation memory, this technique can be used to help control quality and consistency in the elements in a patent as they are translated through the creation and application of throw-away project glossaries.
