The goal of the workshop is to bring together users, developers, and researchers of Translation Memory (TM) to engage the community on TM current practices, successes, barriers and future directions; specifically focusing on:
- What motivates people to use translation memory and what is preventing potential users from employing it?
- What are the appropriate metrics and measures that should be applied to assess translation memory?
- What is desired and planned in the next generation of translation memory technology to expand its usage, improve its capabilities and better address the needs of the users?
