Dear 7th Proz.com conference Prague 2010 attendees and participants,

It is my pleasure to write to you today as we all look forward to attend the above mentioned event and share expertise with each other. I have prepared a workshopt that I am sure all of you will be interested in (I am actually taking part as a speaker in the conference), as it contains great tips and tricks in the field of terminology management and glossary creation, using automated techniques that speed up the process and make our lives easier.

I have prepared my workshop subjects and I was really hoping you share your thoughts with me, as I do not know the level of participants in using Multiterm and Babylon. I have arranged for my session to address intermediate to advanced levels, as that where the cream of the tips and tricks will show. I understand that 1:15 hours is not enough for such an interesting subject, especially for a workshop, but I am going to work with what we have.

I am planning to talk about the following (practically of course, not theoritically):

1- Definitions and importance of terminology management.
2- Creating an advanced Multiterm termbase from an Excel Sheet.
3- How complete your Termbase is?
4- Advanced Termbase Search and Filtering.
5- Using Multiterm with Tageditor.
6- Using Multiterm with SDL Studio.
7- Working with Input Models.
8- Export gimmicks.
9- Creating a Babylon Glossary using Babylon Builder
10- Preparation of Resource files and Regular Expression Magic

I know the above might seem too much for just one hour, but I will do my best to be as fast as possible.

I believe the above topics cover most of the basic things we need to learn, and there is not going to be enough time for Multiterm Extract, Alas. Therefore, I would like you to share your ideas with me, should you need me to focus on anything in particular that you are interested in learning and based on your feedback, we can adjust the workshop topics accordingly. At the end of the day, my main focus is to polish your skills as much as we can in this short workshop.

I am sure all of you shall be delighted in attending the session and I do look forward to meeting all of you in such a great event. My thanks go too to Anne and Pavel, who have really exerted wonderful effort in gathering all of us in a very friendly and interesting atomsphere.

Wishing you all the best and looking forward to your feedback. You can contact me directly using my email of course.

Sameh Ragab
