Workshop on Teaching AI-based Translation and Technologies (TAITT 2026)

The Workshop on Teaching AI-based Translation and Technologies invites original contributions for its first edition, to be held in conjunction with EAMT 2026. Building on a long tradition of pedagogical exchanges within the machine translation (MT) community, this event offers a space for reflection, innovation, and critical engagement with emerging AI-driven practices in translation education. The rapid expansion of MT, general-purpose large language models (LLMs), and integrated translation environments demands new approaches not only to teaching materials, but also to how we conceptualise skills development, the positioning of AI in translation workflows, and the ethics and trustworthiness of language technology use in the classroom. Our aim is to foster a forum where researchers, educators, technologists, and industry practitioners can examine how AI transforms curricula, didactic approaches, learning outcomes, professional readiness and, ultimately, the future of translation work.

We welcome research papers and extended abstracts addressing pedagogical innovation, technological integration, empirical insights, curriculum design, and critical approaches to AI-based translation teaching. Contributions may discuss strategies for acquiring and assessing AI-related competences, innovative teaching methodologies for MT and LLMs, development of technical literacy in translation programmes, classroom studies, user-centred learning scenarios, or critical perspectives on transparency, trust and evaluation in educational settings. Submissions showcasing tools, datasets, learning resources or experimental teaching setups are also encouraged, provided that they articulate academic relevance and transferable insights for the community. Work exploring intersections with accessibility, minority languages, professional workflows, and interdisciplinarity is also highly welcome.

Research papers should range between four and ten pages excluding references. Extended abstracts may be up to two pages including references. All submissions must follow the EAMT 2026 templates and will be handled via EasyChair. Accepted work will be published in the workshop proceedings, Research Papers being included in the ACL Anthology.

The workshop will feature invited speakers and presentations. Key dates align with the general conference schedule, with the submission deadline on 15 April 2026 and the workshop taking place on 15 June 2026. Further organisational details, including programme and speaker announcements, will be available on the conference website.
