As the Web becomes more global, these billions of pages of text, computer code, and graphics images need to be adapted to the needs of global markets. This enormous amount of content localization represents a tremendous opportunity for translators who are interested in working on Web-related projects. Terminology Management in the Software Industry By Ulrike Irmler, Barbara Roll, and Ursula Schwalbach . 17 Software companies that rely on translation to prepare products for a global marketplace can no longer afford to treat the localization of software, documentation, and Websites as an afterthought to the development process. Terminology management and standardization are central to getting it right from the start. How Well Do Your Technical Dictionaries Suit You and Your Translating/ Interpreting Needs?

    The Schematic of God For The First Time An Extraordinary Journey Into Humanity’s Nonphysical Roots Warning! Reading this material may change your reality. William Dayholos January/2007 © E –mail address: [email protected] ISBN: 978-1-4251-2303-1 Paperback copy can be ordered from Trafford Publishing – www.trafford.com Illustrations by Wm. Dayholos ©Copyright 2007 William Dayholos II Acknowledgments The value of ones existences can always be measured by the support they receive from others. Be it family or not it is still unselfish support for another human being who is asking for help. Thank you Rose Dayholos, Marjory Marciski, Irene Sulik, Grace Single, Janice Abstreiter, and Robert Regnier for your editing help. This book is dedicated to my partner in life. To me a partner is one whom you can share your ideas with, one who can be trusted not to patronize these ideas, one who can differentiate their own truth from yours. A person who has an equal spiritual level and understanding, and encourages only through support of your ideas and not to through expectation. A true partner is one who balances out any weaknesses you have in the same fashion as you do for them. One’s weakness is the other’s strength, together you create a whole, a relationship that is stronger than the individuals themselves. In true fashion my partner has both helped and supported this book’s creation. Without this partner’s help it might have run the risk of being too much “me”! This was never the reason for the book.

  • Common Place: Rereading 'Nation' in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta
    Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anitta C. Santiago All rights reserved ABSTRACT Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago This dissertation examines quotation specifically, and intertextuality more generally, in the development of American/literary culture from the birth of the republic through the Civil War. This period, already known for its preoccupation with national unification and the development of a self-reliant national literature, was also a period of quotation, reprinting and copying. Within the analogy of literature and nation characterizing the rhetoric of the period, I translate the transtextual figure of quotation as a protean form that sheds a critical light on the nationalist project. This project follows both how texts move (transnational migration) and how they settle into place (national naturalization). Combining a theoretical mapping of how texts move and transform intertextually and a book historical mapping of how texts move and transform materially, I trace nineteenth century examples of the culture of quotation and how its literary mutability both disrupts and participates in the period’s national and literary movements. In the first chapter, I engage scholarship on republican print culture and on republican emulation to interrogate the literary roots of American nationalism in its transatlantic context. Looking at commonplace books, autobiographies, morality tales, and histories, I examine how quotation as a practice of memory impression functions in national re-membering.

Because queries and documents in CLIR do not necessarily share the same language, translation is needed before matching can take place. This translation step tends to cause a reduction in the retrieval performance of CLIR as compared to monolingual information retrieval. The prevailing CLIR approach and the focus of this study is query translation.

    Social media as a crisis communication tool A cultural case study of the 2016 presidental candidates’ crisis communication in relation to American millennials ”In our newly transparent, internet-driven world businesses have no place to hide, no time to think, and no second chances” - Larkin & Regester, 2008;13 Authors: Master thesis Number of characters (including Line Møller Bertelsen Copenhagen Business School spaces): 267,555 Nete Holm Number of pages: 117 MA in International Business ECTS points: 30 Thesis supervisor: Communication Christine Lenstrup Intercultural Marketing MA IBC ICM Hand-in date: June 15th, 2017 Abstract Et vigtigt tema i både subjektivisme og interpretivisme er konteksten hvori sociale aktører interagerer, tilsvarende formålet med dette speciale; at fastslå indflydelsen af sociale medier og amerikansk forbrugerkultur på organisatorisk krisekommunikation. Ved hjælp af en kvantitativ spørgeskemaundersøgelse og fire kvalitative interviews, tager specialet derfor udgangspunkt i en analyse af interessegruppens kontekst og feltet; krisekommunikation. De fire interviews bidrager med subjektiv ekspertise, inden for hver af deres respektive felter, og spørgeskemaundersøgelsen afslører interessegruppens brug af sociale medier, deres sociokulturelle variabler, og deres holdninger til Donald J. Trump og Hillary R. Clintons krisehåndtering under deres kampagner til det Amerikanske præsidentvalg 2016. Det bliver vist at bestemte aspekter og handlinger bliver tillagt individuel værdi af forbrugere, som derved er med til at skabe og influere deres kontinuerlige identitetsdannelsesproces. Denne proces bliver sat i sammenhæng med måden hvorpå millennials bruger sociale medier, og hvilke kulturelle ressourcer organisationer tilbyder forbrugere at bruge i deres identitetsproces. Det nye medielandskab, muliggjort af ‘global cultural flows’, kombineret med millennials’ kultur, viser sig gennem analysen at være en stor medspiller i forhold til hvordan organisationer optimalt håndterer deres kriser.
