The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) invites everyone interested in machine translation (MT) and translation-related tools and resources ― developers, researchers, users, translation and localization professionals and managers ― to participate in this conference.

Driven by the state of the art, the research community will demonstrate their cutting-edge research and results. Professional MTusers will provide insights into successful MT implementation of MT in business scenarios as well as implementation scenarios involving large corporations, governments, or NGOs. Translation scholars and translation practitioners are also invited to share their first-hand MT experience, which will be addressed during a special track.

Note that papers that have been archived in arXiv can be accepted for submission provided that they have not already been published elsewhere. EAMT 2024 has four tracks, namely Research: Technical, Research: Translators & Users, Implementations & Case Studies, and Products & Projects.

Research: technical 

Submissions (up to 10 pages, plus unlimited pages for references and appendices) are invited for reports of significant research results in any aspect of MT and related areas. Such reports should include a substantial evaluation component, or have a strong theoretical and/or methodological contribution where results and in-depth evaluations may not be appropriate. Papers are welcome on all topics in the areas of MT and translation-related technologies, including, but not limited to:


Papers should describe original work. They should emphasise completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Where appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included.

Papers should be anonymized, prepared according to the templates specified below, and be no longer than 10 pages (plus unlimited pages for references and appendices). Submit the paper as a PDF to OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=EAMT.org/2024/Technical_Track. Submissions that do not conform to the required styles may be rejected without review.

Research: translators & users 

Submissions (up to 10 pages, plus unlimited pages for references and appendices) are invited for academic research on all topics related to how professional translators and other types of MT users interact with, are affected by, or conceptualise MT. Papers should report significant research results with a strong theoretical and/or methodological contribution. Topics for the track include, but are not limited to:

Implementations & case studies

Submissions (approximately 4–6 pages) are invited for reports on case studies and implementation experience with MT in organisations of all types, including small businesses, large corporations, governments, NGOs, or language service providers. We also invite translation practitioners to share their views and observations based on their day-to-day experience working with MT in a variety of environments. 

Topics for the track include, but are not limited to: 


Papers should highlight real-world use scenarios, solutions, and problems in addition to describing MT integration processes and project settings. Where solutions do not seem to exist, suggestions for MT researchers and developers should be clearly emphasized. For papers on implementations and case studies produced by academics, we require co-authorship with the actual organizations working with MT implementations.

Papers (approximately 4–6 pages, with a maximum of 10 pages -- plus unlimited pages for references) should be formatted according to the templates specified below and submitted as PDF files to Open Review: https://openreview.net/group?id=EAMT.org/2024/Implementations_Case_Studies_Track. Anonymization is not required in the Implementations & Case Studies track submissions. Submissions that do not conform to the required styles may be rejected without review.

Products & Projects

Submissions (2 pages, including references) are invited on either of the subtracks (Products or Projects).

Products: Tools for MT, computer-aided translation, and other translation technologies  (including commercial products and free/open-source software). Descriptions should include information about product availability and licensing, an indication of cost if applicable, basic functionality, (optionally) a comparison with other products, and a description of the technologies used. The authors should be ready to present the tools in the form of demos or posters during the conference.

Projects: Research projects, funded through grants obtained in competitive public or private calls related to MT. Descriptions should contain: project title and acronym, funding agency, project reference, duration, list of partner institutions or companies in the consortium if there is one, project objectives, and a summary of partial results available or final results if the project has ended. The authors should be ready to present the projects in the form of posters during the conference. This follows on from the successful ‘project villages’ held at the last EAMT conferences.

There will be a poster boaster session for this track, in which authors will have 120 seconds to attract attendees to their posters or demos with a two-slide presentation. 

Submissions should be formatted according to the templates specified below.  Anonymization is not required. Submissions should be no longer than 2 pages (including references), and submitted as PDF files to OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=EAMT.org/2024/Products_Projects_Track.
