Today marks the Day of commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide. At the European Parliament’s translation service, we contribute to this commemoration with a moving story from Bosnia in all 24 official EU languages, as well as a dedicated podcast retracing the main stages of the massacre from a historical point of view. Ružica is seven years old, carefree, and spends her days playing with friends in her town in central Bosnia in the year 1992. One day, a single word shatters her world: ‘war’. It separates her from her best friends, brings fear and destruction, and drives her from her home. This is the story of a war-torn childhood and of ominous words learnt too early in life. 📖 Read her story in 24 languages on the My House of European History website 👉 https://loom.ly/r3FObkQ In 2009, the European Parliament passed a resolution to commemorate and honour all the victims of the atrocities during the wars in the former Yugoslavia. Parliament expressed solidarity with their families, many of whom still lack confirmation of their relatives' fates. It recognised 11 July as a day of commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide. Parliament also highlighted the importance of reconciliation as part of the European integration process. 🎧 Listen to the podcast on the Srebrenica genocide on Europarl Radio 👉 https://loom.ly/7hezu48

This week, our Director-General for Translation, Mr Valter Mavrič, represented the European Parliament Translation Service at the 25th Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT), which took place in Sheffield, UK. Held from 24 to 26 June, and jointly organised by ZOO Digital and the University of Sheffield, the EAMT 2024 Conference brought together developers, researchers, users, translation and localisation professionals and managers, all interested in machine translation and translation-related tools and resources. It presented state of the art research, case studies, projects and products in the field. In the keynote speech he delivered on the first day of the conference, Mr Mavrič outlined how MT has become an integral part of DG TRAD’s work, helping it to manage an ever-growing volume of translation requests and allowing it to focus on the unique value that only humans can bring to the translation process.
