In a press release, Lionbridge Technologies, Inc., world's largest provider of language services, yesterday announced the establishment of its "Lionbridge Fellows Program" and this year's recognition of two leading language technologists, Joachim Schurig and Eric Blassin for their ground-breaking research, design, and development of Lionbridge's Logoport translation memory (TM) technology.

Lionbridge's Board of Directors recognized the two Lionbridge Fellows of 2006 during a meeting yesterday, whose efforts in creating and implementing the Logoport(TM) and glossary management system have enabled Lionbridge to create a clear market leadership position through a hosted, managed service model for globalization, the company writes.

CEO Rory Cowan explained that the company's long term success depends on developing leading technology innovations which meet the ever changing globalization demands. "We are fortunate to have two leading language technologists in our Company. We have created this Fellows Program to allow these leaders to further their research and to push language processing technology boundaries to even greater levels of innovation," he said.

Lionbridge Fellows will be granted a one-month, paid sabbatical plus travel expenses to facilitate the free exchange of ideas and collaboration among specialists from industry and academia.

The new Logoport services are developed and optimized for the Web, offered free-of-charge to Lionbridge clients and translators. Logoport is praised for the complete compatibility with all industry-standard language tools, allowing  Lionbridge to centralize and secure each client's translation memories and glossaries for worldwide, real-time management across all project participants in a scalable environment.

The focus area for 2006 will be investigating the interplay between internet based translation memory and the latest advances in machine translation. The technology fellows will explore ways to incorporate these innovations into Lionbridge's existing technical architecture.
