• MT for multiple modalities (speech, sign language, video, etc.)
• MT for real-time communication (chats, social networks, etc.)
• MT in production scenarios, robustness and deployment issues
• Linguistic resources for MT: corpora, terminologies, dictionaries, etc.

• Using MT in social networking or real-time communication (e.g. enterprise support chat, multilingual content for social media)
• MT and usability
• Implementing MT to process multilingual content for assimilation purposes (e.g. cross-lingual information retrieval, MT for e-discovery or spam detection, MT for highly dynamic content)
• MT in literary, audiovisual, game localization and creative texts
• Impact of MT and post-editing on translation practices and the profession: processes, effort, compensation
