The Norwegian Computer Society and the SIG Technical Communication invite you to a members meeting.

Companies want to reach international audiences. Translation and localization by humans is expensive. We have an economic crisis, and companies want to minimize costs.

International English is a good solution to the problem, because it makes text very clear. International English helps most readers and especially those who do not read English as a first language. Additionally, international English decreases the costs of human translation, and gives acceptable results with machine translation.

Mike's presentation will cover these topics, and touch upon the concept of controlled language. He will provide you with guidelines for using the partly-controlled international English language, and give you the opportunity to put your newly acquired skills into practice in a practical exercise.

Target groups:
This meeting is primarily aimed at the technical writer community. However, anyone who uses English as a working language can benefit from the meeting.
 
Time: Wednesday 25th of November, 17:00-19:00
Place: Den Norske Dataforening, Møllergaten 24, Oslo

This meeting is free of charge for members of the Norwegian Computer Society. Non-members will be charged NOK 300,-.

Welcome!
