As the  major APEC Conference in 2007 is in Australia a number of Tourism websites, Local 
Government websites and SME Business websites may want to provide translations of their 
events and attractions as well as products and services.

Following a submission by OIC members to the New Zealand Tourism tender for a Korean translation of its website,
the OIC is very pleased to confirm that the Translation Special Interest Group [TZIG] has been 
revived with monthly eSeminars to explain the issues involved with translations and Website
localisation.

Translation is an Intellectual Property Asset that could involve more than a website and
could include Advertising Material, Organsiation Literature, Contracts & Legal Documents, 
Data Sheets & Technical Papers, Equipment Manuals & Specification Sheets, Hardware Product 
Manuals & Maintenance Manuals, Manufacturing Procedures, Online help, cuecards & wizards as
well as Websites.

Professional localisation requires two core technologies, Terminology Management and 
Translation Memory, to eliminate tedious and error-prone translation tasks

There is a special 50% membership fee for new members who would like to join TZIG
and received similar tenders.  

This special membership is for applications received by 17:00 Thu 16 Mar 2006.

Registration for Seminar - Early Bird by 17:00 Mon 13 Mar 2006
