This was the first working conference in our series, held in Bangalore from 21st to 23rd November 2000, at the NCST offices in Bangalore.
The objective of the meeting is look at software and content localisation (translation) and determine what it requires of linguistics and
language engineering. We published Briefing Notes “Why Human Language Technologies are critically important for Bridging the
Digital Divide”, which posed a number of questions which we hoped to answer, or set as future research agendas.
Other questions arose during the meeting.
We had a number of scene setting ‘state-of-the-art’ presentations about existing knowledge and practice in each of the areas considered,
as detailed in the programme for the meeting.
The conference was attended by 7 experts from Europe and 20 experts from within India.
Regrettably no experts from other South Asian countries were able to attend.
The conference was a great success, bringing together a number of people who would not otherwise have met, as well as enabling people
to renew old friendships. A summary of the conference linked to detailed contributions from many of the experts has been compiled from
the various discussions at the conference and afterwards.
Afterwards a number of contributers made there presentations available, or produced papers derived from their presentations and the
discussions at the workshop:
