SUMMARY:How AI Search Is Reshaping User Behavior and SEO: Key Insights for Translators
DESCRIPTION:Discover how AI-powered search engines are changing user behavior and SEO strategies\, and what it means for translators and agencies navigating this evolving digital landscape.\nThe growing popularity of AI-powered search engines like SearchGPT\, Perplexity\, and Microsoft Copilot is fundamentally changing user behavior.

Terms like generative engine optimization (GEO) and large language model optimization (LLMO) are being used excessively in this context\, but what do they really mean? \nThis webinar will provide participants with an overview of the latest insights into changing search behavior and what they mean for SEO strategies. Additionally\, new tools for analyzing AI-driven search queries will be introduced. The webinar is aimed at translators and agencies offering SEO-optimized translations or looking to refine their own SEO strategy. \nBy attending this webinar\, you will:\n\nUnderstand how user behavior is evolving with AI-powered search.\nExplore current debates on adapting SEO strategies.\nCompare AI-driven SEO with traditional optimization approaches.\nUse tools to analyze mentions and visibility in AI search engines.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nMagali Karee is a freelance translator with over 15 years of experience in search engine optimization (SEO)\, marketing\, and translation.

SUMMARY:ATA TEKTalks: Human-Inspired Term Extraction with Sketch Engine
DESCRIPTION:Feeling LOC’d out? ATA TEKTalks is here to help!\nThis webinar offers a practical introduction to Sketch Engine and explores how it can support freelance translators\, in-house linguists\, language services providers\, and students alike—whether you’re looking to streamline your workflow\, sharpen your linguistic insights\, or expand your client base. \nSketch Engine is an online text analysis tool that works with large samples of language\, called text corpora\, to identify what is typical and frequent in a language and what is rare\, outdated\, going out of use\, or what new words or grammar are beginning to be used. In a nutshell\, Sketch Engine is a tool to learn how language works. \nIn current language industry scenarios\, Sketch Engine is an ideal method of identifying and extracting clean and reliable data from any source. \nManual extraction is time-consuming. With large quantities of text\, automatic term extraction is the only viable option. However\, the result can be noisy\, contain many non-terms\, and require human post-editing. \nThis webinar will present the principles behind an automatic method that reduces the noise considerably by imitating the more reliable manual term extraction process. \nWhat is ATA TEKTalks?\nLanguage technology\, or lang tech for short\, can feel like a confusing maze\, evolving daily. If you’ve ever felt “LOC’d out” of all the excitement—or just overwhelmed—it’s time to grab your compass and assume your place as a tech-savvy linguist! \nATA’s Language Technology Division is pleased to present ATA TEKTalks\, a quarterly series of webinars. ATA TEKTalks provides a platform for leading language technology companies to say hello\, offer insights\, and answer questions relevant to the work of freelancers\, language services providers\, and in-house translation departments. \nThink of ATA TEKTalks as an open exchange of information where language technology companies and their representatives demonstrate how and why their services can improve your return on investment. \nThis webinar series is organized in collaboration with ATA’s Language Technology Division. \nBy the end of this webinar\, you will be able to:\n\nConduct corpus queries to explore how words are used across a range of contexts\, examining frequency\, distribution\, and variation.\nAnalyze collocations using Sketch Engine to uncover patterns of co-occurrence that reveal how language works in real\, everyday use.\nCreate word sketches that capture a word’s grammatical behavior and typical collocates\, offering a concise view of its usage profile.\nExtract keywords statistically to pinpoint salient terms in a text or corpus\, which is useful for domain analysis\, terminology work\, or content comparison.\nSupport language teaching with authentic\, corpus-based examples that enhance textbook materials and make instruction more contextually rich.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nOndřej Matuška is a linguist and head of sales at Sketch Engine\, a corpus system developed by Lexical Computing. His role includes promoting the use of corpora among linguists and language professionals and running training events and workshops. Ondřej also contributes to developing the user interface and improving the user experience of Sketch Engine\, the OneClick Terms term extractor and the Lexonomy dictionary writing system.

SUMMARY:GLD Webinar: Working with the  Old German Kurrentschrift
DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest challenges in working with handwritten German-language documents produced before the 20th century is the script in which they were written\, known as Kurrent. In this webinar\, we will begin with an overview of the history of this form of German handwriting\, with a focus on how it was taught and used in the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe and America. We will examine several examples of Kurrentschrift that German translators often work with today\, including personal documents (letters and diaries) and vital records. We will wrap up with information on resources for translators and others who are interested in becoming proficient in Kurrentschrift. \nAttendance is limited to 100 participants. \nMark L. Louden\, Ph.D.\, is the Alfred L. Shoemaker\, J. William Frey\, and Don Yoder Professor of Germanic Linguistics and the Director of the Max Kade Institute for German American Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Most of his research and public outreach centers on German-related language varieties in North America\, especially Pennsylvania Dutch.

SUMMARY:Medical Division MEDTalk
DESCRIPTION:The ATA Medical Division is excited to announce its second MED Talk of the year! MED Talks are the ATA Medical Division’s content-based presentation series\, free and open to all Medical Division members. \nThis MED Talk will be recorded\, and the recording will be available for one month to all members who register. This event is for members of the ATA Medical Division only. \nThe Medical Translator’s Dictionary: What It No Longer Is and What It Could Become\nWith the arrival of the internet and the development of digital databases\, the lexicography industry was transformed: dictionaries—essential tools for every translator—ceased to be unwieldy tomes and became easily accessible works in the cloud\, easily editable\, expandable\, and universally available. And so\, it remained for over a decade. However\, with the popularization of generative artificial intelligence\, the landscape has shifted once again\, as the possibilities for retrieving and reusing information have multiplied—especially in the field of translation. \nWhat new paths are opening up in terms of services for translators and other language professionals? What considerations must be taken into account in the development and adaptation of tools for documentation\, translation\, post-editing\, and the revision of translated texts? In relation to these activities\, what is a dictionary today—a list of terms\, a database\, or rather a dynamic\, adaptable service available in many forms? \nIn this presentation\, I attempt to address these questions from the perspective of Cosnautas\, a publishing house specializing in resources for medical translators\, using primarily the case of Fernando Navarro’s Libro Rojo. \nAbout the Speaker\nJosé Antonio de la Riva Fort is a founding partner and director of Cosnautas\, a publishing house specializing in medical terminology and dictionaries for medical translators. He has a PhD in Comparative Literature (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid)\, a Master’s degree in Publishing (Universidad de Salamanca) and a major degree in Classics (Salamanca)\, where he came after a few years of liberal arts studies at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. His career has two aspects—one as a language professional (proofreader\, editor\, project coordinator\, translator\, writer)\, mainly in the biomedical field\, and the other as a university lecturer (of classical languages\, ancient literature\, rhetoric\, and other related subjects). Mr. de la Riva Fort is interested in the intersections between the humanities and sciences on one side\, and between professional and academic realms on the other.
