The voice-activated Siri assistant on Apple's iPhone 4S is a direct challenge to Google's search engine, chairman Eric Schmidt said.
"Apple has launched an entirely new approach to search technology with Siri, its voice-activated search and task-completion service built into the iPhone 4S," Schmidt acknowledged in a written response to lawmakers released Friday by the Senate antitrust subcommittee.

NTT Docomo Inc. will provide a two-way, speech translation service between Japanese and English, and Japanese and Korean, for cell phone users on a trial basis starting Wednesday. Translated spoken words or sentences will be sent to the phone user two seconds after the firm's voice recognition system registers the speaker's voice, the company announced Friday. It will be the first automated conversation translation service in the world available on a standard cell phone.
El diccionario ‘Tesoro Léxico Canario-Americano’, cuyos autores son los catedráticos Cristóbal Corrales y Dolores Corbella, acaba de recibir el premio de investigación filológica 2011 que concede cada año la Real Academia Española (RAE) de la Lengua. Se trata de la primera vez que filólogos canarios reciben este prestigioso galardón. El acta del jurado, presidido por el director de la RAE, José Manuel Blecua, considera este libro “una aportación muy valiosa para el conocimiento de las interrelaciones del español atlántico”. Su candidatura fue presentada por los académicos Gregorio Salvador, Francisco Rodríguez Adrados y Salvador Gutiérrez Ordóñez. La publicación -editada en 2010 por el Cabildo de Gran Canaria, a través de la Casa de Colón- supone el compendio de intensos años de trabajo de ambos investigadores, orientado al estudio de los léxicos empleados en Canarias y América, para, a través de ellos, fijar la huella de las relaciones experimentadas entre ambas orillas tras cinco siglos de Historia compartida.
Different events were organised in Karachi last year to celebrate the completion of the 22-volume Urdu Lughat (dictionary) with fanfare, claiming that 52 years of hard work had come to fruition. Ever since its inception in 1958, the Urdu Dictionary Board has been headed by many noted individuals and has had to experience ups and downs, mostly the latter, primarily because of the lack of attention towards the board of the government-led institutions. No different is the situation today.
Após um inconveniente com um cliente PDF resolvi mudar minha estratégia de negociação de prazos e pagamentos. Aqui eu falo sobre como negociar pagamento com o cliente direto.
O distinto me informou, após 10 dias de vencimento da fatura, que geralmente envio para 30 dias (ou seja, lá se iam 40 dias da entrega do serviço sem ver a cor do meu cheque), que, por engano, a fatura não havia sido ingressada na contabilidade da empresa e que, somente naquele momento havia sido ingressada no sistema, e o pagamento estaria disponível em aproximadamente 30 dias (quer dizer, 70 dias após terem recebido a tradução).
Deixe-me dizer-lhe uma coisa, maledetto cliente: seu pedido de mil desculpas não pagam as minhas contas. Suas esperanças de que este inconveniente não volte a ocorrer não me exime dos compromissos que tenho (contas a pagar, com datas de vencimento).
The Law on Domestic Violence has undergone a change, clauses remaining the same.
And things better change soon. I do not like this forced holiday at all and am hoping more translation requests come in soon. Because I miss working. Since the spring, jobs have been coming in at a steady pace.
To business! Next few posts are snip and paste from a best practice White Paper on testing and survey translation, written because we see so much less-than-best practice. Testing and survey translation is tricky, and often clients and language service providers ignore the unique set of problems that occur in this challenging process.
Essentially, our job in the language services industry is to facilitate international communication. We cross linguistic and cultural boundaries to help our clients get their own ideas across, or...

With nothing more urgent to do, the Oregon Geographic Names Board plans to consider requests to change the names of more than 30 places in six Eastern Oregon counties, names that now contain the word “squaw.”
The plan is to replace those names with Native American names. This is the latest chapter in a long story. For English speakers around the world, squaw used to be a perfectly ordinary Indian word. Then, the world became persuaded that it was a dirty word. Read more: http://democratherald.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_cb8afb18-0729-11e1-bb17-001cc4c03286.html#ixzz1czLyrzbj
The Selection Committee would ... like to request The Hindu to have, from next year onwards at least, separate awards of equal value for fiction written in English and that translated from the languages of India so that both receive equal attention and the process of selection is made a little easier since it is not often easy for a translation to compete with original English writing in terms of the fluency of style as the translation is obliged to retain certain modes and echoes of the original language and the specificities of the culture concerned. The award for the translated work will however not be a translation award, but one for translated fiction. We also recommend that the calendar year be the basis for nominations and not an arbitrarily chosen duration as it becomes difficult to authenticate the month of publication.
