  • Workflow Manual
    Published on Multilingual Online Translation (http://www.molto-project.eu) D3.3 Translation Tools – Workflow Manual Contract No.: FP7-ICT-247914 Project full title: MOLTO - Multilingual Online Translation Deliverable: D3.3 MOLTO translation tools – workflow manual Security (distribution level): Public Contractual date of delivery: M31 Actual date of delivery: April 2013 Type: Manual Status & version: Final Author(s): Inari Listenmaa, Jussi Rautio Task responsible: UHEL Other contributors: Lauri Alanko, John Camilleri, Thomas Hallgren Abstract Deliverable D3.3 consists of a manual and a description of the workflow of the MOLTO translation tools. The document introduces the components: the open-source translation management system Pootle, the Simple Translation Tool, which supports many different translation methods and the Syntax Editor, which allows to modify text by manipulating abstract syntax trees. The document presents two translation workflows. The first scenario integrates MOLTO tools in a professional translation on fixed source, using Pootle. MOLTO translations with GF grammars are added in machine translation options. Another direction taken is the population of translation memory with GF generated data. In the second workflow, the translator is authorized to do changes to source. The tools used in this scenario are the Simple Translation Tool and the Syntax Editor. 1. Introduction This Deliverable D3.3, is a manual and a description of workflow for the translation tools produced within WP3. As stated in the previous Deliverables 3.2 and 3.1, the user of the translation tools is not required to know how to write GF grammars. They are either translators, whose job is to translate from fixed source, or they are authorized to modify the source text in order to fit into the structures covered by the domain-specific grammar(s).

  • Webinar: Translation Memory and Machine Translation
    Legal Services National Technology Assistance Project www.lsntap.org Webinar: Translation Memory and Machine Translation Jillian Theil, Claudia Johnson, Diana Glick, Leland Sampson, Maria Mindlin and Sart Rowe Machine Translation The Perils of Google Translate Typically Google translate tool will give you broken language translations. You might be able to tell what the translation is saying but it will be grammatically incorrect and use wrong words. The key when creating something like a sign, is to use more visuals and less words. Arrow signs, people icons, Dollar signs etc. Check for existing resources - look for signs that already exist and you can see what they are doing. Consider using visuals for wayfinding - arrows, etc Conduct Plain language review and editing Ensure your signage is readable (font etc) Back translation is running a translation back into english to ensure it is correct. Case Study: Using chinese as an example: the word for computer mouse is a different word than the animal mouse - so google translate will translate a sentence about this wrong. If possible obtain a legal review of the translation from an attorney / translator. Is it Ever OK to use Google Translate? It’s ok for informal communications, for general understanding or when you are in a complete bind and have no other options. Translation Workflow for Lingotek and People’s Law Library 1. Volunteer contacts them, and they qualify that volunteer 2. The volunteer selects an article to translate and that article is uploaded to lingotek 3. The volunteer performs the actual translation and then the article is assigned to a volunteer reviewer who is a licensed attorney 4.

  • Introducing a Cat Tool to Translate: Wordfast
    Indonesian Journal of English Language Studies Vol. 2, Number 1, February 2016 Introducing a Cat Tool to Translate: Wordfast Fika Apriliana, Ardiyarso Kurniawan, Sandy Ferianda, and Fidelis Chosa Kastuhandani ABSTRACT This article aims at introducing CAT tools to those prospective translators who are familiar with with the tools for the first time. Some of the CAT tools must be paid for while some others are free. This article is to inform the readers about the list of free and paid CAT tools, advantages and disadvantages of those tools. One does not need special training for using a free CAT tool while using the paid CAT tools, one needs some special preparation. This article is going to focus more on Wordfast Pro as the second most widely used CAT tools after SDLTrados. Wordfast Pro is a paid software the functioning of which is based on the creation of a Translation Memory which facilitates and speeds up the translator's work. This article is going to briefly explain the advantages of Wordfast Pro and the steps of using it. The translation example is presented to reveal the different translation results of Wordfast Pro as a paid CAT tool and OmegaT as a free CAT tool. Therefore, the article will facilitate those who intend to know more about Wordfast Pro and start using it. Keywords: CAT tools, Wordfast Pro, OmegaT INTRODUCTION When using CAT tools, it is Computerized translation has attracted immediately clear which parts of the text the attention of a large number of people must be translated; the unchanging who work directly or indirectly on portions are transferred accurately and translational issues such as professional directly; the time savings due to repeating translators, teachers, linguists, researchers expressions is huge; and expressions are and future translators.

  • An Empirical Study on the Influence of Translation Suggestions’ Provenance Metadata
    An empirical study on the influence of translation suggestions’ provenance metadata A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lucía Morado Vázquez Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, University of Limerick Supervisor: Dr Chris Exton Co-Supervisor: Reinhard Schäler Submitted to the University of Limerick, August 2012 i Abstract In the area of localisation there is a constant pressure to automate processes in order to reduce the cost and time associated with the ever growing workload. One of the main approaches to achieve this objective is to reuse previously-localised data and metadata using standardised translation memory formats –such as the LISA Translation Memory eXchange (TMX) format or the OASIS XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF). This research aims to study the effectiveness and importance of the localisation metadata associated with the translation suggestions provided by Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools. Firstly, we analysed the way in which localisation data and metadata can be represented in the current specification of XLIFF (1.2). Secondly, we designed a new format called the Localisation Memory Container (LMC) to organise previously-localised XLIFF files in a single container. Finally, we developed a prototype (XLIFF Phoenix) to leverage the data and metadata from the LMC into untranslated XLIFF files in order to improve the task of the translator by helping CAT tools, not only to produce more translation suggestions easily, but also to enrich those suggestions with relevant metadata. In order to test whether this “CAT-oriented” enriched metadata has any influence in the behaviour of the translator involved in the localisation process, we designed an experimental translation task with translators using a modified CAT tool (Swordfish II).

  • Beyond Translation Memory: Computers and the Professional Translator Ignacio Garcia, University of Western Sydney
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 12 – July 2009 Beyond Translation Memory: Computers and the Professional Translator Ignacio Garcia, University of Western Sydney ABSTRACT Translation has historically been performed by bilinguals equipped with specialised topic knowledge. In the mid 20 th century, textual theory and discourse analysis saw emphasis on a top-down, whole-text approach that paved the way for modern professional translators as linguistic transfer experts. This professionalisation was further driven by the digital revolution in the 90s which caused a huge increase in translation demand, and the creation of purpose-designed translation tools—principally translation memory (TM). However, the same technological processes that briefly empowered the professional translator also signalled a return to a bottom-up approach by concentrating on the segment. Twenty years on, translation tools and workflows continue to narrow this focus, even tending towards simple post-editing of machine translated output. As a result, topic-proficient bilinguals are again entering mainstream translation tasks via simplified translation management processes and crowdsourcing approaches. This article explores these recent trends and predicts that, over the next decade, professional translators will find it increasingly difficult to survive as linguistic transfer experts alone. KEYWORDS Translation, localisation, localization, translation memory, machine translation, professional translation, translation as a utility, hive translation. Introduction The digital age has affected all professions, but change has been felt by translators more keenly than most. Like the rest of the ‘knowledge sector,’ translators are obliged to work on computer screens and do their research using the web. Unlike their colleagues however, they have been propagating this new work environment and fomenting change precisely by their role in translating it.
