When Translation Meets DevOps: The Next Decade of Language Services

2026年5月16日 • 0 Comment

This session centers on the core concept of translation engineering, exploring how the language services industry can transition from a “craftsmanship” model that relies on individual experience to a replicable, continuously optimizable “industrialized” production system.

Translation engineering consists of four pillars:

Standardization
Unified processes and standards to reduce inconsistency

Assetization
Accumulating translation memories, termbases, and linguistic assets

Automation
Replacing repetitive labor with tools and AI

Datafication
Measuring quality and guiding decisions through data

The session will begin by examining industry challenges and the bottlenecks of traditional translation models, then expand on each of the four pillars of engineering, and conclude with the closed-loop mechanism of “continuous optimization.”

AI Agent-Driven Next-Generation TMS: Architecture, Capabilities, and Practices

2026年5月16日 • 0 Comment

Faced with the growing scale of multilingual content, compressed delivery timelines, and rising quality requirements, traditional TMS and siloed AI translation solutions can no longer meet the demands of enterprise-level localization production. This session will explore the architecture positioning, core capabilities, and practical implementation of next-generation TMS, discussing how AI agents can be deeply embedded into the translation workflow to perform task understanding, automatic planning, multi-agent collaboration, terminology and memory reuse, style control, format preservation, automated quality assurance, and result delivery. Drawing on the practice of YiCAT Agent, we will analyze how AI has evolved from a standalone translation tool into a controllable, traceable, recoverable, and deliverable intelligent production node. This provides a reference for enterprises looking to build an intelligent multilingual production system that harmoniously integrates people, language assets, AI, and processes.

From Cloud to Edge: Engineering Practices for Localization Agents in Production

2026年5月16日 • 0 Comment

As large language models move from web-based chat interfaces to real-world production environments, localization and technical communication are undergoing a workflow-level transformation. This session will follow the evolution path “from cloud to edge,” sharing how AI agents leverage Context Engineering to understand product knowledge, terminology, and style guidelines; employ Harness Engineering to connect files, tools, and quality checks; and integrate into multilingual content production workflows through Workflow Orchestration. The session will demonstrate the engineering path from prompts to skills, and from prototyping to production software, helping content teams understand how to transform AI from a “question-answering chat window” into an orchestratable, reusable, and governable localization agent capability.

“Translation” for In-Cabin Experience Goes Beyond Translation: Testing in Automotive Content Localization

2026年5月16日 • 0 Comment

Automotive HMI localization goes far beyond simple text translation. This session will focus on the unique challenges faced by Chinese automakers going global: when Chinese is the source language, how can we avoid cycle delays and semantic deviations caused by “double translation”? We will break down the entire process of automotive HMI localization testing and introduce various testing scenarios. We will also present real-world “pain points” across different languages in UI layout, RTL adaptation, and voice recognition. Furthermore, we will analyze the fundamental differences between automotive HMI localization and traditional app localization from five dimensions: safety, interaction, ecosystem, and beyond. The goal is to help the audience build a complete understanding — shifting from a “firefighting” approach to translation toward a “systematic” testing framework.

Internationalization of UI Design and AI Assistance

2026年5月15日 • 0 Comment

This session discusses the necessity of addressing internationalization in UI design, the key aspects that need to be considered when designing for internationalization, and how to adopt internationalization design strategies to minimize future localization issues. It also explores how to leverage AI tools and techniques to support and enhance internationalization design efforts.

Analyzing NVIDIA’s Documentation Ecosystem: How Domestic AI Chips Can Bridge the Gap

2026年4月10日 • 0 Comment

NVIDIA’s technical documentation system is at the heart of its CUDA ecosystem dominance, seamlessly connecting products with developers. In this talk, we’ll break down the architecture, writing logic, tools, and publishing systems behind NVIDIA’s official docs — and show how standardized, modular, scenario-based documentation lowers developer barriers and amplifies technical authority. We’ll then compare this with the current state of domestic AI chip documentation, identify critical gaps beyond hardware performance, and explore actionable pathways for China’s chip ecosystem to catch up and break through.

Ecodesign for Products in the European Market: Challenges for Technical Communication

2026年2月10日 • 0 Comment

Ecodesign aims to make products more resource-efficient and reduce their environmental impact. Legal requirements for ecodesign have been established in the European single market for two decades. However, European Regulation 2024/1781 on ecodesign for sustainable products has significantly expanded the framework for ecodesign, introducing comprehensive information requirements and the so-called ‘digital product passport’. How will the Regulation be applicable on a product-specific basis, and what challenges will this pose for products and those responsible for technical communication?

Clarity Saves Lives: Reducing Risks Related to Human Factors with Simplified Technical English

2026年2月10日 • 0 Comment

Human-factor errors are among the most common causes of accidents in technical and industrial environments. Unclear documentation often plays a key role. This workshop explores how Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100) can help reduce misinterpretation and support safer, more reliable task execution. Through a mix of theory and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to identify linguistic risk factors in safety instructions and procedures, and how to rewrite them for clarity, compliance, and usability. Using real examples, the session highlights how applying STE writing rules not only improves readability and translation consistency but also supports human performance and operational safety. By the end of the workshop, participants will understand how clear language can actively mitigate human-factor risks and enhance safety communication in maintenance, operations, and training contexts.

EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745: Essentials of Medical Device Labeling Requirements with Application Examples （post-meeting Webinar)

2026年2月10日 • 0 Comment

The Medical Device Regulation governs the regulation of medical devices in the European Union, enhancing safety, quality, and performance standards for medical devices. As a manufacturer of software for computer aided surgery, implants and surgical instruments intended for distribution the European market, we had to update the technical documentation and the labeling of all products in scope ensuring that the required enhancements in the product related user instructions and packaging information were available in the languages of target countries and online for public access. This presentation provides an overview on the regulatory labeling requirements for all medical device manufacturers and importers in Europe as well as example of how requirements were applied on the packaging, in the software and in the instructions for safe and effective use of the device.
