Presentation #1: Tips and Tricks for Maintaining French-Language Skills When You Don’t Live in France
Friday, November 8 at 10:00 a.m. at #ata54

Raising her children bilingually and living in France at various times over the years (most recently in 2012), Eve was inspired to present on how to  maintain French language skills for personal and professional fulfillment.

If you live outside a French-speaking country and use your language skills professionally, you need to retain your French reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills at a high level. Eve will address new ways to maintain French competency as well as revisit various traditional methods. Audience participation is encouraged from this group of seasoned professionals.

Presentation #2: Two Sides of a Coin: Two Perspectives of Software Localization – The Project Manager & The Translator Working Together
Friday, November 8 at 2:30 p.m. at #ata54

Playing the role of the Project Manager for this presentation and in real life, Eve will present with Tess Whitty of Swedish Translation Services, who shares her knowledge from working as a translator on many localization projects.

Localization is a team effort between the client, the project management team and the translators, as well as others. Come hear tips for making your involvement in a localization project a success, from the project manager’s point of view as well as from the translator’s perspective.
