Translation has an ecological cost, so should we think of it as a scarce good? With translation you sell more goods and services to more and more people all over the world. Should we prioritise some types of translation over others, for example gaming? Michael Cronin at #2022TEF

Link translation and technology. Rise of social media result of provincialisation of people’s minds. People consult info in their own language, in their own country. Need to put translation at the heart of efforts to go against this provincialism says Michael Cronin at #2022TEF

Question at #2022TEF How to make MT Post-editing financially attractive for translators?
Answer: by making the engines better. Also PEMT is three times faster than normal translation, so even if rate is lower you produce more pages per day. What do you think?

The panel is asked to define quality.
1. give the customer what they want
2. speed and cost
3. good enough to absorb the info - 100% accuracy not always needed
4. if the end-user gets the message
How would you define it? #2022TEF
