International Conference on Human-Informed Translation and Interpreting Technology (HiT-IT 2023) Proceedings

HiT-IT seeks to act as a meeting point for (and invites) researchers working in translation and interpreting
technologies, practicing technology-minded translators and interpreters, companies and freelancers
providing services in translation and interpreting as well as companies developing tools for translators
and interpreters. In addition to the accepted papers for presentation, HiT-IT will feature invited talks by
prominent experts as well as presentations and panels hosted by practitioners.
Most of the existing conferences are either focused too much on the automatic side of translation or
concentrate largely on translators’ and interpreters’ professions. HiT-IT seeks to fill in this gap by
allowing the discussion, the scientific comparison, and the mutual enrichment of professionals from
both fields. HiT-IT 2023 addresses the development of translation tools and the experience translators
and interpreters have with these tools as well as the development of machine translation engines,
incorporating human (translators and interpreters’) expertise. The conference also offers a discussion
forum and publishing opportunity for professionals from the human translation and interpreting fields
(e.g. translators including subtitlers, interpreters, respeakers, researchers in translation and interpreting
studies) and for researchers and developers working on translation and interpreting technology and
machine translation. The idea behind this conference attendees to hear the other side’s position and
to voice their opinions on how to make translation technologies closer to what would be accepted by
large audiences, by incorporating human expertise into them.
