Quality management
through
close collaboration
Ulrike Kavemann, Volkswagen AG, Wolfsburg,
Andrei Iovita, altalingua, Bukarest, Romania
Managing quality along each step of the translation
process is essential in providing high-quality
translations. It is an essential ongoing process
that involves close collaboration between translators,
proofreaders, the service provider and the
customer to ensure that all those involved understand
our concept of translation quality. In this
workshop, Volkswagen and altalingua will present
their approach, inviting the audience in to share
their views and ideas for improvement.

What makes the
difference with
.net localization
Florian Sachse, SDL Passolo, Bonn
Many concepts within .NET allow for the extremely
efficient development of software and
easy reuse of components. These concepts have
also had an impact on software localization and
caused a paradigm shift that not only localization
tools have to address but also localizers. .NET
can make the lives of localization engineers more
difficult.

how to Avoid career-Sabotaging
english Grammar Bloopers as
a German Native Speaker
Leif Sonstenes, Welocalize,
Konstanz
Do you, like most technical
writers, have a technical,
not a linguistic background?
No wonder you struggle to
avoid the reputation-damaging
traps that English grammar
sets for the unwary.
This workshop builds on
“Writing English TD as a German Native Speaker.”
First, we review some relevant English grammar
rules. Then, we apply them to discover the best
word order, verb forms, and sentence structures
for procedural and descriptive text. After digging
deeper into prepositions, possessives, plurals, and
a few other tidbits, you will never write another
career-limiting sentence.

interactive exercises.

creating effective online tests
Jason Nichols, ReadSoft AB, Helsingborg, Sweden
Tests play an important role in the educational
aims of organizations, and are one of the main
means of certification. As a technical writer or
trainer developing online tests, you need to be
aware of the requirements for creating effective
ones. Luckily, there is a wealth of experience and
established practices which we can and must
draw upon. This workshop will look at the fundamentals
of constructing online tests, focusing
on how to write good questions, with the help
of numerous examples and exercises. Examples
for review can be sent to info@jasonanichols.net
prior to the workshop.
➔ Professional level. Requirements for participants:
If they have written test questions before,
to bring some examples in for review.

Technische Dokumentation meets
MS Sharepoint – Prozesse, Nutzen,
herausforderungen, erfahrungen
Michael Mayer, GABO mbH & Co. KG, München,
Ulrich Isermeyer, Adobe Systems GmbH, München
Bei der Umsetzung von Dokumentationsprozessen
auf ein CMS oder DMS spielen neben fachlichen
Anforderungen immer mehr strategische Gesichtspunkte
wie zum Beispiel integrierte Systeme,
Skalierbarkeit von Lösungen, attraktive Lizenzkosten
etc. eine entscheidende Rolle. Mit dem
Microsoft Sharepoint existiert bereits in vielen
Unternehmen eine interessante Alternative.
Der Vortrag richtet sich an Personen (Firmen), die
vor der Umstellung auf ein CMS oder DMS stehen
bzw. mit ihrem aktuellen Dokumentationsprozess
nicht zufrieden sind.

Schreibmethoden für die Technische Kommunikation
wie das Funktionsdesign, Information
Mapping oder das Klassenkonzept sind seit vielen
Jahren bzw. sogar seit Jahrzehnten verfügbar.
Der einführende Beitrag stellt die Methoden,

kurz im Vergleich vor.
Anschließend thematisiert er in der Praxis immer
wieder gehörte Aussagen, Annahmen und Unsicherheiten
in Form von Fragen und Antworten
und überprüft sie auf deren Stichhaltigkeit. Auch
