This is an opportunity for local translators in the Elvas area or the nearby part of Extremadura, Spain - or other colleagues who feel like dropping in - to relax and exchange professional information in English, Portuguese or Spanish as the spirit moves them and the comprehension of their conversation partners permits. If there is interest, I can give a brief presentation (in English and/or fractured Portuguese) on some recent work developing an instructional regime for practical terminology mining from diverse corpora and various possibilities to improve our professional practice by so doing.
