#2324: Creole Language Computer Software Development Update (fwd)
From:MariLinc@aol.com
Keywords: Haitian Creole, Creole, Creole language computer tools, software
development, Creole conferences
Corbett List Colleagues,
This is to alert you to the publication of an update report of Mason
Integrated Technologies Ltd (MIT2) on its Creole language computer software
development activities.
It can be found at:
http://hometown.aol.com/mit2usa/Update2-2000.htm
To whet your appetite, the report ends with these words:
<< The optical character recognition (OCR) product line for Creole languages
has been named CreoleScan(tm) and the orthography conversion product line for
Creole languages has been named CreoleConvert(tm). Much interest was
generated when MIT2 issued a press release announcing the successful
development of CreoleScan(tm) and CreoleConvert(tm) for Haitian Creole.
R&D to expand functionality of CreoleScan(tm) and CreoleConvert(tm) to
additional French-related, as well as Portuguese- and English-related,
Creoles has begun. The initial results are way beyond expectation and we
should have some additional product announcements to make shortly. >>
This is also to alert you to the fact that, as a result of the request of its
organizers, a posting for the Society for Caribbean Linguistics Conference to
be held in Mona, Jamaica, August 16-19, 2000 is now available at:
http://hometown.aol.com/mit2haiti/SCLconf.htm
In order to accommodate the requests of organizers of that Creole Conference
-- as well as the organizer of the Fifth International Creole Language
Workshop to be held in Miami, FL (USA), March 30 - April 1, 2000 -- MIT2 has
added a new functionality to its Creole Web Site
(http://hometown.aol.com/mit2haiti/Index4.html): A section for "Upcoming
Creole Conferences".
If any of you Corbetters out there are organizing any Creole-related
conference, we will be pleased to post your notice on the MIT2 Creole Web
Site -- IN ADDITION to your usual postings to the Corbett List, the CreoLIST
and/or the Web Site of Études Créoles.
It's possible that because of MIT2's cross-fertilizing, interdisciplinary
activities, a few extra people interested in your conference might very well
wish to attend or to participate.
Please keep that in mind as we all work together at making possible for
Haitian Creole the same possibilities and tools available to the so-called
"major international languages".
Sincerely,
Marilyn Mason
