The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation

ACL ? 23rd IWSLT 2026 ? First Call for Participation

July 6-7, 2026 - San Diego, CA, USA

http://iwslt.org

The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) is the
premier annual conference for all aspects of Spoken Language Translation.
Every year, the conference organises and sponsors open evaluation campaigns
around key challenges in simultaneous and consecutive translation, under
real-time/low-latency or offline conditions and under low-resource or
multilingual constraints. System descriptions and results from
participants? systems and scientific papers related to key algorithmic
advances and best practices are presented.

IWSLT is the venue of the SIGSLTs, the Special Interest Group on Spoken
Language Translation of ACL, ISCA and ELRA. With a track record of 22
years, IWSLT benchmarks and proceedings serve as reference for all
researchers and practitioners working on speech translation and related
fields.

The 23rd edition of IWSLT will be run as an ELRA/ACL event and co-located
with ACL 202 <https://2026.aclweb.org/>6 on July 6-7, 2026. It will be run
as a hybrid event.

Evaluation

The IWSLT 2026 features shared tasks <https://iwslt.org/2026/#shared-tasks>
that address the following focus areas:

-

Speech to Text Translation track: Offline, Low-resource
-

Customized Speech Translation track: Compression, Subtitling,
Simultaneous
-

Speech Generation track: Indic S2S, African S2S, Cross-lingual Voice
Cloning
-

Instruction Following track
-

Speech Translation Metrics track

Training and development data for each shared task will be prepared and
released by the respective organisers (for further information on this
initiative, please refer to the website). Participants will receive
instructions about how to submit their runs. In addition, participants have
the opportunity to present their work through a system paper that will be
published in the ACL Proceedings.

Conference

IWSLT also invites submissions of scientific papers to be published in the
ACL Proceedings and presented either in oral or poster format. The
conference selects high-quality, original contributions on theoretical and
practical issues of spoken language translation research, technologies and
applications. Submissions will be accepted directly through the IWSLT
submission site (to be announced at the conference website
<https://iwslt.org/2026/>). We will also accept commitments of submissions
with reviews from the ACL Rolling Review.

Additionally, to foster cross-pollination of ideas, the conference also
invites the presentation of papers on speech translation recently published
elsewhere. Please note that this is for non-archival presentation of papers
relevant to speech translation already published in other venues (e.g., ACL
2026 Findings papers, speech, NLP or MT conferences). Submissions for this
category will be accepted through a dedicated form (to be announced at
the conference
website <https://iwslt.org/2026/>). Papers will be checked for relevance to
IWSLT and assigned either oral or poster presentation slots if selected.

Contact
Please send an email to iwslt-evaluation-campaign@googlegroups.com if you
have any questions related to the shared tasks.

Thanks,

Marcello, Alex, Antonios, Jan, Sebastian, Elizabeth, Atul
