How things are, it will probably be too much money wasted to hear for the umpteenth time about all the «advantages» that AI brings to the translation world...
| | | |
The reason is self-explanatory: they are useful, but way too expensive.

It was really only for speakers of Danish, but I really enjoyed Sprogense, the Danish language festival.

It does not specifically target translators, although they were represented. It is a celebration of the Danish language for everyone - children, teachers, language professionals, everyone concerned with language in culture and industry......

Danish Sign Language, dyslexia and learning difficulties, the whole spectrum.
I have been four times, and there are always several lectures or events I do not have time for!
Of course, AI was mentioned, but the main focus was on real people and the living language, historically and in the future. ▲ Collapse

| I am taking this to mean "language industry related conference" | May 31 |
And that is a no.
I'm starting full time teaching in August (and essentially leaving translation), so I am unlikely to do translation-related networking or professional development ever again.

I believe I have attended several conferences in my working life time, including the FIT conferencces in Berlin, Germany, and in Varadero, Cuba back in 2022.

No, I wouldn't know how to join a conference. (-: What does that mean... does it mean that you're a speaker or one of the organizers?

I've only ever attended one, and that was because I won a free ticket in a raffle. I've looked into attending a few conferences, but for me the travel and accommodation costs are the main killers. The cost of the typical 3-day conference approaches the amount that my wife and I spend on a 2-week holiday, so it just feels like a waste of money. (The tax deduction for conference costs saves only about 30%.)
