2012 Resource Directory and Editorial Index 2011 Language | Technology | Business RESOURCE ANNUAL DIRECTORY EDITORIAL ANNUAL INDEX 2011 MultilLingual reader survey results The importance of content inventories The language services market: A year in review 1 CoverResourceDirectoryRD12Vers2.indd 1 1/12/12 8:52 AM 2-3 Ad-About RD11.indd 2 1/12/12 8:58 AM About the MultiLingual 2012 Resource Directory and Editorial Index 2011 his volume marks our tenth annual Index and Resource Directory. We’ve been Up Front doing this for a decade now — or more, depending on how you’re counting, since the very first iteration of MultiLingual was actually a printed-out list of localiza- tion resources mailed in 1987. But we’ve streamlined things since then, and every T year now, we collect up-to-date data on language companies and services, and compile them into listings by category — from Software Testing to Interpreting to Blogs. The purpose is to provide a resource for the language industry; what amounts to a global phone book for those seeking this kind of business. The Resource Directory has tradition- ally been marked by blue tabs, and this issue is no exception. We include a few short articles with each edition, organized with red tabs, and this year, Kate Edwards writes on the importance of content inventories. Common Sense Advisory provides a breakdown of the worldwide market, and we have a snapshot of our own reader survey, which helped us to get a better picture of how to serve the industry. Next comes the Index, marked with gold tabs. We manually index every issue, going through the articles in their final state and creating a list of authors, titles and topics, which we then sort by a single alphabet at the end of the year. This, again, is in the hope that we can provide an educational resource for the industry, and an easy way to find a specific article even if you can’t remember who wrote it, or what issue it appeared in. Also of interest may be the list of industry- related acronyms and abbreviations that comes next, and the terminology glossary that comes after that. We update these pages every year as well, drawing from the new terms that crop up in the pages of our magazine. Finally, the index of advertisers in this directory makes its appearance. This issue is available for free download at www.multilingual.com/resourceDirectory, which contains live links to all the articles in the Index and to the companies in the Resource Directory. Happy tenth anniversary, and here’s to many more together. — The Staff of MultiLingual www.multilingual.com 2012 Resource Directory & Index 2011 MultiLingual 3 2-3 Ad-About RD11.indd 3 1/12/12 8:58 AM on the web at www.multilingual.com Search MultiLingual.com MultiLingual New expanded site-wide search! 2012 Resource Directory & Index 2011 Editor-in-Chief, Publisher: Donna Parrish Managing Editor: Katie Botkin Editorial Assistant: Jim Healey Proofreaders: Bonnie Hagan, Bernie Nova News: Kendra Gray Downloads Production: Darlene Dibble, Doug Jones • Search all of multilingual.com Cover Graphic Design: Doug Jones • Filter your results by information type Webmaster: Aric Spence • Find what you need — fast!

Media Poetry.qxd 23/7/07 9:27 am Page 199 MEDIA POETRY – THEORY AND STRATEGIES Eric Vos Media poetry is innovative poetry created within the environment of new communication and information technologies. This observation is, of course, all right and all wrong. It is all right in describing the new media as environments for the creation of poetry, as offering technological possibilities for experiments in writing poetic texts. That is what is documented in this anthology. But it is all wrong in suggesting that the basis for media poetry is merely to adopt these technologies as writing, publishing, and reading tools. Computers, word processors, modems, communication software, and the Internet all take part in the writing and reading of poems published in numerous online literary periodicals – but they do not necessarily partake in their poetics.

  • Digital Dictionaries of South Asia Funded by the U.S Department of Education Under Title VI, Section 605, October 1999 Through September 2002
    Digital Dictionaries of South Asia Funded by the U.S Department of Education under Title VI, Section 605, October 1999 through September 2002 PROGRAM TITLE OF PROJECT International Research and Studies Program, Digital Dictionaries of South Asia International Education and Graduate Programs Service, U.S. Department of APPLICANT Education, CFDA No. 84.017A The University of Chicago 970 East 58th Street FUNDING REQUESTED Chicago, Illinois 60637 $453,071 for three years 773-702-8602 PROJECT DATES PROJECT DIRECTOR Oct. 1, 1999 - Sept. 30, 2002 James H. Nye Director, South Asia Language and Area Center 5848 University Avenue, Kelly 313 Project Director’s Signature Chicago, Illinois 60637 773-702-8430 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED PROJECT For language learning and instruction, few resources are more crucial than dictionaries. This project aims to make high-quality dictionaries in each of the twenty-six modern literary languages of South Asia universally available in digital formats. At least thirty-two dictionaries will be converted from printed books, often multi-volume, to electronic resources. A wide variety of users will benefit from access to electronic dictionaries via global media such as the World Wide Web. Not only the academics whose study of Indic languages has long been supported by the Department of Education, but also American-born learners of South Asian heritage, and individuals around the world will profit. A well-developed plan and the considerable experience of key personnel ensure that the project's objectives will be met. The Project Director and two Co-Directors have been at the forefront of recent initiatives to improve global access to South Asian materials through deployment of current technologies.

  • The Use of Color in Computer Interfaces: Preliminary Research

Wadlow, Daniel Boyarski 14 September 1990 ***Please do not redistribute*** Information Technology Center Carnegie Mellon University 4910 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-3890 (c) Copyright 1990 Information Technology Center All Rights Reserved Information Technology Center Carnegie Mellon University 4910 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890 Table of Contents Abstract 2 I. Introduction 3 II. Objective 6 III. Method 7 IV. Results 17 " V. Discussion 35 VI. Conclusion 40 Acknowledgment 42 Bibliography 4 3 Abstract This research broadly explores the use of color in computer displays. In particular, the study described here explores issues related to the effective use of color in graphic elements and in text, as well as the more subjective issues related to the use of color. To design color interfaces effectively, it is important to understand the principles of color interactions: within the properties of color itself, with the medium, with the environment, and most importantly with the viewers. Color can be used effectively as an attention-getting device, although the choice of an inappropriate color may limit its effectiveness. It is important that highlighting is perceivable enough to be effective, yet not distracting. The issue of contrast between text and its background is critical to those who spend the majority of the day in front of a computer screen. The contrast should not be so high that it causes fatigue, but it should not be so low that it strains the viewers' eyes. Highly saturated hues should be avoided.

  • Language Exclusion in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing
    Hard Numbers: Language Exclusion in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing Martin Benjamin Kamusi Project International Place de la Gare 12 C 1020 Renens, Switzerland [email protected] Abstract The intersection between computer science and human language occurs largely for English and a few dozen other languages with strong economic or political support. The supermajority of the world’s languages have extremely little digital presence, and little activity that can be forecast to change that status. However, such an assertion has remained impressionistic in the absence of data comparing the attention lavished on elite languages with that given to the rest of the world. This study seeks to give some numbers to the extent to which non-lucrative languages sit at the margins of language technology and computational research. Three datasets are explored that reveal current hiring and research activity at universities and corporations concerned with computational linguistics and natural language processing. The data supports the conclusion that most research activity and career opportunities focus on a few languages, while most languages have little or no current research and little possibility for the professional pursuit of their development. Keywords: under-resourced languages, computational linguistics, NLP, language technology 1.0. Introduction reveal almost nil coverage for the supermajority of languages. One could hunt for resources per This paper looks at technology for “under- language, and find a corpus here, a spell-checker resourced” languages by examining the amount of there, and a bunch of Wikipedia stub pages about career opportunities and research projects in the asteroids somewhere else1.

  • Fifty Years of Kiswahili in Regional and International Development
    Fifty Years of Kiswahili in Regional and International Development by Susan Chebet-Choge, M.Phil. [email protected] Lecturer, Department of Language and Literature Education Masinde Muliro University of Science & Technology, Kenya Kakamega, Kenya Abstract Kiswahili is undoubtedly one of the most developed and expansively used indigenous African languages nationally and internationally. At the dawn of African states political independence, the founding fathers of the nations led by Kwame Nkrumah considered Kiswahili as an appropriate language for African states unity. Adoption of Kiswahili as the universal language of African continent could have gone a long way in realising the dream of the founding fathers of one people, one nation, one language. However, as history bears witness, their dream remained just a wish. On the contrary, Kiswahili, though not accorded Africa continent political recognition, has continued with its linguistic conquest and expansion further from its indigenous base in the East Africa’s coast to various countries in Africa and beyond. The status and usage of Kiswahili has shifted and grown with the political, social and economic growth of nations which use it for various purposes. Currently, it is a regional language in East African countries where it wears several hats as a vernacular, national & official language, lingua franca and a vehicular in various spheres of life. Internationally, Kiswahili has curved for itself a linguistic sphere in the field of academia and international communication. This paper therefore seeks to document and asses Kiswahili’s participation in the last fifty years in national, regional and international developments. 172 The Journal of Pan African Studies , vol.4, no.10, January 2012 Introduction Kiswahili is a language of the Niger-Congo family which Ethnologue has classified as ISO 639- 3: SWA (Lewis 2009).

  • Indirect Influence of English on Kiswahili: the Case of Multiword Duplicates Between Kiswahili and English
    Indirect Influence of English on Kiswahili: The Case of Multiword Duplicates between Kiswahili and English Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) vorgelegt an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Technischen Universität Chemnitz von Herrn Dunlop Ochieng, geboren am 15.11. 1973 in Rorya, Tanzania Chemnitz, den 4 Februar 2015 Ochieng ii Acknowledgements I owe a debt of gratitude to many kind individuals and supportive institutions for their support during the course of my study. First, I sincerely thank the German Academic Exchange Service and Tanzania Ministry of Education and Vocational Training for their joint scholarship that financed my German language course at the Eurasia Language Institute in Berlin and my PhD project at Technischen Universit ät Chemnitz. Secondly, I thank the Open University of Tanzania, my employer, for granting me a study leave to pursue my PhD in Germany, and for partly funding my study. My appreciation equally goes to the University of Helsinki in Finland for granting me a permission to access and use their online Kiswahili corpus, the Helsinki Corpus of Swahili for my research. Ac- cess to the corpus enabled me to compare and contrast the general tendencies and fre- quencies of my research tokens in my recent corpus, the Chemnitz Corpus of Swahili and their old corpus, the Helsinki Corpus of Swahili. I am equally grateful to Prof. Daniel Nkemleke, for his guidance on how to analyze my research data, and how to present them meaningfully and logically. He also helped me in proofreading my final drafts of thesis to ensure that it meets the standard of a PhD thesis in linguistics.
