What: The tekom Annual Conference, Europe’s largest event in the field of technical communication and information development. Idiom executives will be featured in the following presentations:

• Complementing Content Management with Translation
  The category of "translation management systems" has evolved over the last nine years to encompass a portfolio of business management, workflow and technology that allows CMS applications to handle multilingual content. This panel will explore three different approaches to this technology sector which will become part of every technical communicator's life. The podium is addressed to practitioners with basic knowledge.
  
• Leveraging DITA in a Multilingual Environment
  Since the development of DITA by IBM, it has become a powerful XML standard adopted by OASIS for topic-oriented information development. Organizations are choosing this as the foundation of technical document creation & publishing as DITA uses the principles of specialization, inheritance & the ability to capture topic semantics to maximize reuse & extensibility of topics across different deliverables. Idiom shows how this applies to a global marketplace & reviews what benefits any organization can gain by using DITA in a multilingual environment in combination with translation automation. The lecture is addressed to practitioners at entry level.

When: November 7-8, 2007
