The bi-annual Languages and Media Conference will be held in Berlin in October 2010.  The conference program is now available on the Languages and the Media website.

The conference covers a range of topics from foreign language translation and subtitling to captioning and audio description.  The presentations vary from practical to academic. 

This year’s conference is concentrating on the challenges thrown up by convergence, the rise of online amateur ‘tools’ for instant translation and captioning and what impact this will have on the access and translation world. 

Media Access Australia CEO Alex Varley will be presenting on how new media (downloads, social media, technology) impacts on disability access.
