GALA Blog

GALA Technology webinars have provided a platform for tool providers to give an in-depth introduction to their tools. Many of you will have attended a GALA webinar and have contributed to their success over the last few years. These have been non sales events where you got a good overview of the tool from the people who built it. This year we have decided to extend this program. We now have expert presentations as well as the presentations from tool providers.

GALA will shortly be announcing the 2008 series of webinars. Among the tool providers who have already committed to presentations are across, Alchemy, Plunet, Beetext, AIT and Kilgray. The expert presentations will start in March with a presentations from Richard Sikes called ‘Global Customer Satisfaction – Quality at the Source’. We will also have Yves Savourel from Enlasso on ‘The Internationalization Tag Set (ITS)’. XLIFF has recently become an official OASIS standard and I will be giving a presentation on it called an ‘Introduction to XLIFF’. Balá¡zs Kis from Kilgray will be talking about ‘Term Extraction Algorithms’. Adam Aasnes from Lingoport has confirmed that he will be giving a presentation and towards the end of the year we will have David Pooley from SDL will give us an ‘Introduction to TMX’.

These are just some of the presentations which have been lined up so far. We are very interested in seeing your ideas for improving this series. If you want to suggest an expert presentation or are a tool provider who would like to take part in this please contact Amy who will work with you on this.

I hope you enjoy this series of presentations.
