Dear Mark and conference organizers - it totally slipped my mind that the conference started yesterday and lasts till tomorrow late.Would the recording of the conference be available in any shape and form?Best Z.

I haven't yet made a rapid grant request but I'll certainly follow that up, and I'm also wondering if that suggestion that Anne made earlier was still possibly on the table? Unfortunately it would be difficult to reschedule the conference at this stage to allow an application via the Conference Grants round though.Anyone with an interest in translation on Wikipedia would be very welcome to submit a paper proposal. The Call for Papers assumes that paper proposals will be research-based but I think it would be really excellent to have contributions from practitioners as well, and if we have enough we could for example dedicate a session to them. I also think the opportunity that the conference could potentially give for stimulating exchanges between practitioners and researchers would be very exciting.Best regardsMarkOn Wed, 2 Jun 2021 at 21:59, Oby Ezeilo <oby.ezeilo@gmail.com> wrote:Hello Mark.

While the conference's main focus is interlingual translation within the online encyclopaedia, we are also interested in research into the multilingual Wikipedia that makes no explicit reference to translation issues.The conference will be online, face-to-face or mixed mode, depending on prevailing circumstances. Please see the conference website at https://ctn.hkbu.edu.hk/wikiconf2021/ for full details and the Call for Papers.I hope to see some of you there!MarkProfessor Mark Shuttleworth 夏致遠
