It's with great sadness that I write this. Her dedication and enthusiasm left a lasting impression on all of us who had the privilege to work with her on the ID Committee. Christine will be warmly remembered for her invaluable contributions and spirited presence.

‘How Machine Translation is used in Public Services’ is the subject in the next in our series of online Roundtable discussions on 17 October. The University of Bristol has partnered with CIOL to publish a survey of UK public service workers on their use of machine translation or artificial intelligence (AI) for translation. The survey has been conducted by Dr Lucas Nunes Vieira, who will take a leading part in the discussion and will be joined by project reviewers Professor Lynne Bowker and Dr Mary Nurminen, with CIOL's Dom Hebblethwaite hosting the discussion. We'll explore the extent to which MT and other AI tools are being used for translation by public service workers. We'll also discuss the challenges and risks posed, whether these practices can be stopped, and whether appropriate policies are in place.

‘Embracing Our Multilingualism: Why Languages Are For Everyone’ is the title of #CIOL’s CEO John Worne’s Lord Mayor’s Lecture, to be held online on 13 June.
Although #language #learning has never been more accessible to all of us, many people who have reached a good standard in other languages are still reluctant to use them at work. Why?
In this #lecture, John sets out the real value for people and their #employers in valuing, using and improving #languages.
