Melissa Ehgoetz
Technolinguist

Melissa obtained a B.A. in Translation, with a trilingual French-Spanish-English option, from the University of Ottawa and will complete an M.A. in Translation in 2004. Her thesis investigated the possibility of designing and implementing a controlled language on a small scale, which would then be used by a machine translation system to produce texts in several different languages.

During her studies at the University of Ottawa, Melissa was involved in a research project that gauged a readership's acceptance of machine-translated texts. She was also responsible for training and providing support to students while they learned to work with various translation technology tools.

Before joining Technolinguistics Services, Melissa worked in the Terminology section of the Translation Bureau, where she worked with both commercial and proprietary terminology tools and was always on the look out for new technology to help terminologists in their work.
