Research trends in language industries in AESLA’s translation and interpretation panel

As a result of the widespread use of computer applications after years of research in the field of natural language processing, language technologies and machine translation, the notion of language industries consolidates in the professional translation sector from the standpoint of the increase in performance and efficiency while reducing costs, improving quality and automating processes. This work studies the trends of the approach to translation technologies by means of systematic content analysis techniques of the scientific production of AESLA conferences during the 2004-2012 period to identify themes, applications and connections with the world of professional translation and technology.
