Panel

Foreign Language Document Review: The State of the Industry

You must log in before you can access most features of this event.

Schedule:This session ended at 16:55
Description:

The Foreign Language Document Review industry has changed a great deal since the speaker's first language project, which involved about two dozen Russian speakers and thousands of cardboard boxes filled with hard copy documents. The session will discuss what the industry is like today, with topics including the most in-demand languages, the top practice areas, the skills and qualifications sought by firms and agencies, the goals and concerns of different participants in the process (clients, firms, agencies, reviewers), and the varying roles that document reviewers may be asked to play. We will also try to look ahead to technological and other developments that may impact the industry in the coming years.

Language(s):English

    useful but with problems Dec 13, 2012

    I think the event overall was useful. The sessions were well targeted and considered. However the technical problems were overwhelming. The audio quality was horrible and not much could be understood of what the practitioners were saying.
