The 14th annual meeting of the European Association for Machine Translation will
be held in Saint-Raphaël, France, 27-28 May 2010. This year, the central theme
of the conference is:

Machine Translation
a useful tool to enhance communication or an overrated gimmick?

The conference will bring together scientists, developers and users of machine
translation and other tools for multilingual processing. Cutting-edge research
and demonstrations from leading academic, business and government organizations
will showcase the latest results. During the conference there will be numerous
sessions including research papers, reports on users' experiences, discussions
of policy issues, invited talks and panel discussions. These wide-ranging
activities in the machine translation will allow participants from research,
business and government to get together to explore how to use machine
translation technology to conquer language barriers and overcome the digital
divide.

The EAMT cordially invites you all - researchers, developers, providers, users,
and observers - to EAMT 2010, to contribute to and witness ongoing efforts in
developing and using machine translation technology and tools for translation
support.

There will be two categories of papers:
(R) Research papers: Submissions are invited for reports of significant
research results in any aspect of machine translation and related areas.
Such reports should include a substantial evaluation component.
(U) User studies: Submissions are invited for reports on users' experiences
with using MT.
