Translating and the Computer

Upon its inception, in June 2014, AsLing took over the long-running conference series, Translating and the Computer, established in 1978 by the former UK not-for-profit professional association Aslib, under whose management the 1978 conference and subsequent annual conferences were held from 1980 through 2013. AsLing has successfully carried out nine sessions of this series, beginning with TC36 in 2014 through TC44, which ended on 25 November 2022. From the inception of the conference through until 2019 the first 41 sessions were all held at various conference venues in London (UK). TC42 and TC43 were held as virtual conferences, online. AsLing held its most recent conferences, TC44, TC45 and TC46, once again as in-person conferences, in Luxembourg, 2022, 2023 and 2024. TC47, which will be the 12th conference in this series organised by AsLing, will again take place in Luxembourg, early December 2025.
