Recommendations for Translation Environments to Improve Translators workflows

Co-authors
Donald Degraen received his master’s degree in computer science with a specialisation in the domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in 2012. With an original background in industry and education, Donald joined the HCI group at the Expertise Centre for Digital Media (EDM), part of Hasselt University, as a researcher. Since, he has been exploring a wide variety of topics in HCI research, such as gesture-based interaction and user-centred software engineering. Eva Geurts received a master degree in computer science in 2014, with a specialisation in the domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Meanwhile, Eva Geurts joined the Human-Computer Interaction group of the Expertise Centre for Digital Media, the ICT research institute of Hasselt University. Through involvement in basic and applied research projects, she is exploring general HCI research topics of the group such as user-centred software engineering and mobile and context-sensitive systems. Mieke Haesen is a lecturer and IOF-fellow (Flemish Industrial Research Fund) who takes care of business development at the Expertise Centre for Digital Media of Hasselt University, Belgium . In her PhD in computer science, she investigated a user-centred software engineering framework and techniques for multi-disciplinary teams. Her main research interests include user-centred design and development processes, techniques and tools for multi-disciplinary cooperation and storyboarding.
Iulianna van der Lek-Ciudin is currently a researcher at KU Leuven, Faculty of Arts, Campus Antwerp. Her research activities involve the translation process, evaluation of translation environment tools and terminology strategies. She is passionate about language technologies, always looking for ways to improve translators’ knowledge of the existing tools, processes and workflows. Karin Coninx is Professor at Hasselt University, Belgium. Karin Coninx is leading the Human-Computer Interaction Group of EDM (Expertise Centre for Digital Media, a research institute of Hasselt University that is partner in iMinds), Dean of the Science Faculty and Director of the Doctoral School for Sciences and Technology. Her research interests include user-centred methodologies, (multimodal) interaction in virtual environments, haptic feedback, technology-supported rehabilitation and CareTech, serious games, mobile and context-sensitive systems, interactive (ubicomp) work spaces, and the model-based realization of user interfaces
