  • A Semantic Model for Integrated Content Management, Localisation and Language Technology Processing
    A Semantic Model for Integrated Content Management, Localisation and Language Technology Processing Dominic Jones1, Alexander O’Connor1, Yalemisew M. Abgaz2, David Lewis1 1 & 2 Centre for Next Generation Localisation 1Knowledge and Data Engineering Group, 1School of Computer Science and Statistics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland {Dominic.Jones, Alex.OConnor, Dave.Lewis}@scss.tcd.ie 2School of Computing, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland 2 [email protected] Abstract. Providers of products and services are faced with the dual challenge of supporting the languages and individual needs of the global customer while also accommodating the increasing relevance of user-generated content. As a result, the content and localisation industries must now evolve rapidly from manually processing predicable content which arrives in large jobs to the highly automated processing of streams of fast moving, heterogeneous and unpredictable content. This requires a new generation of digital content management technologies that combine the agile flow of content from developers to localisers and consumers with the data-driven language technologies needed to handle the volume of content required to feed the demands of global markets. Data-driven technologies such as statistical machine translation, cross-lingual information retrieval, sentiment analysis and automatic speech recognition, all rely on high quality training content, which in turn must be continually harvested based on the human quality judgments made across the end-to-end content processing flow. This paper presents the motivation, approach and initial semantic models of a collection of research demonstrators where they represent a part of, or a step towards, documenting in a semantic model the multi-lingual semantic web.

  • Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU
    Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU A project lifecycle, from content creation to final print. September 26, 2019 www.idemtranslations.com EXECUTIVE BRIEF Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU Ready to commercialize your product abroad? With regulatory approvals in the works, it’s time to plan the next step in your product distribution cycle. For many medical devices and biotech products, this means creating a multilingual IFU that ships directly with your product around the globe. This executive brief walks you through the decision-making steps necessary to plan and execute an in-box multilingual IFU, from drafting the content to sealing the box. A bit of advance planning will go a long way to ensuring that your product launch is stress-free. Step #1: Content Clearly, you need to draft your English IFU content as the first step on the road to a multilingual IFU. When possible, it is worth spending a little extra effort on the IFU content to ensure it is crystal-clear before the verbiage is locked down. This linguistic clarity will save you time (and money) in the future. Here are several easy things that you can do that pay off future dividends in terms of managing a multilingual IFU: 1. use international measurements Outside the US, metric units of measurement (mm, cm, m, ml) and temperatures in Celsius are far more common than feet, inches, and degrees Fahrenheit. If you only include the typical US measurements, your translators will need to ask how you wish to convert the numbers for use abroad. By including the international measurements (either alone or in tandem with the US measurements), you can perform those conversions up front and avoid questions during the translation process.

  • Machine Translation in the Field of Law: a Study of the Translation of Italian Legal Texts Into German
    Comparative Legilinguistics vol. 37/2019 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14746/cl.2019.37.4 MACHINE TRANSLATION IN THE FIELD OF LAW: A STUDY OF THE TRANSLATION OF ITALIAN LEGAL TEXTS INTO GERMAN EVA WIESMANN, Prof., PhD Department of Interpreting and Translation, University of Bologna Corso della Repubblica 136, 47121 Forlì, Italy [email protected] ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9414-8038 Abstract: With the advent of the neural paradigm, machine translation has made another leap in quality. As a result, its use by trainee translators has increased considerably, which cannot be disregarded in translation pedagogy. However, since legal texts have features that pose major challenges to machine translation, the question arises as to what extent machine translation is now capable of translating legal texts or at least certain types of legal text into another legal language well enough so that the post- editing effort is limited, and, consequently, whether a targeted use in translation pedagogy can be considered. In order to answer this question, DeepL Translator, a machine translation system, and MateCat, a CAT system that integrates machine translation, were tested. The test, undertaken at different times and without specific translation memories, provided Eva Wiesmann: Machine Translation in… for the translation of several legal texts of different types utilising both systems, and was followed by systematisation of errors and evaluation of translation results. The evaluation was carried out according to the following criteria: 1) comprehensibility and meaningfulness of the target text; and 2) correspondence between source and target text in consideration of the specific translation situation.
