Some Rights Reserved September 12, 2009 2009 MATI Annual Conference History "Disdain on the side of the professional translators for the hilarious and stupid MT mistakes gave birth to a new variant of MT called translation memory (TM). TM started off as a lower-level feature of commercial MT systems (...). But the success of TM came with dedicated products such as IBM TM/2 and Trados. The marketing message was tuned in to what the professional translation industry wanted to hear: "Forget about MT; it doesn't work well. Instead, use our TM product because it leaves you in full control of the process." Jaap van der Meer in MultiLingual 71 (2005) 19 (CC) Creative Commons. Some Rights Reserved September 12, 2009 2009 MATI Annual Conference History "The message worked well, within a period of 10 to 15 years, TM products have found their way to the workstations of more than 50,000 translators in the world. But the message had also caused a "cognitive disorder" in the translation industry, namely that TM is good and MT is evil, foregoing the fact that TM is just a new variant of MT (...). The damage is done, however, and it will take years to convince the community of business translators that post-editing fuzzy matches from TM databases is, in fact, not different from post-editing fuzzy matches from any other MT system."

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.

De igual manera, agradezco a mis estudiantes de Traducción Asistida por Computador en la misma universidad por interesarse en el software libre y por motivarme a buscar herramientas alternativas que pudiéramos utilizar en clase sin tener que depender de versiones de demostración ni recurrir a la piratería. A mi colega Pedro, que comparte conmigo el interés por la informática aplicada a la traducción y por el software libre, le agradezco la oportunidad de llevar la teoría a la práctica profesional durante todos estos años. Quisiera agradecer a Esperanza, Anna, Verónica y Ewelina, compañeras de aventuras en la UJI, por haber sido mi grupo de apoyo y estar siempre ahí para escucharme en los momentos más difíciles.

    <www.medtrad.org/panacea.html> Tribuna FreeandOpenSourceSoftwarefortranslators Corinne McKay* Abstract: Free and open source software (FOSS) is gaining popularity in the translation industry, due to its low cost, flexibil- ity, reliability, security and freedom from licensing hassles. With a range of free and open source translation memory suites, web browsers and office software to choose from, FOSS is an attractive option for freelancers and agencies alike. The past year has seen many new developments in the world of FOSS for translators. This article will address three main topics: what is FOSS; why is FOSS important to translators; and how can translators get started with FOSS? Software de fuente abierta y libre para traductores Resumen: El software de fuente abierta y libre (FOSS por sus siglas en inglés) está ganando popularidad en la industria de la traducción debido a su bajo costo, flexibilidad, fiabilidad, seguridad e independencia de los problemas de licencias. La amplia gama de memorias compatibles, navegadores y aplicaciones comerciales actual hace de los sistemas FOSS una atractiva opción para traductores autónomos y agencias de traducción. El año pasado se produjeron muchos nuevos diseños para traductores. Este artículo aborda tres temas principales: qué es el software FOSS, por qué es importante para los tra- ductores y cómo pueden éstos comenzar a usarlo. Key words: open source project, translation tools, Linux. Palabras clave: Projectos de fuente abierta, herramientas de traducción, Linux Panace@ 2006; 7 (23): 95-98.

Finan- cially, the word is still quite positive in our industry, and we’ve got a healthy resource Tdirectory for 2009 to prove it. Using this resource directory and index, you can easily locate language-industry companies as well as the last year’s content from MultiLingual. This seventh annual publication begins with the Resource Directory (blue tabs), listing companies that develop and use language-related technology along with those providing services in translation, localization, internationalization, website globalization and many other specialties. Next, Tom Edwards explains how to tap into already-available cultural savvy at your company. Also included is advice from Tina Cargile and Erin Vang on managing localization projects and from Betsy Rodriguez on how to streamline any company’s process by creating a quality assurance system. Martin Spethman and Nitish Singh give an overview of India’s e-busi- ness, a rapidly expanding internet market that some predict will have as many as 80 million users by 2010.

  • Openness in Computing the Case of Linux for Translators
    -R7ERHVMRM4+EVG°E+SR^¤PI^1 IHW 8VERWPEXMSRERH3TIRRIWW -RRWFVYGOMRRWFVYGOYRMZIVWMX]TVIWW Openness in Computing The Case of Linux for Translators Peter Sandrini University of Innsbruck, Austria The decision to use exclusively open source software for translation purposes includes deploying an open source operating system. Put in another way, if I, as a translator, want to use free and open source applications on my PC, it is legitimate and almost obvious for me to support this choice by using an open source operating system as well. An operating system constitutes the basic infrastructure of any computer system: without it, no application can be launched and no data can be edited or saved. In this context, openness first and foremost means using a free and open source operating system, thus, eliminating the need for any proprietary software; secondly, openness is also about having the opportunity to be part of a community, by sharing and contributing one's own experiences and solutions. The following paper describes the use of GNU/Linux as a platform for translation, summarizes experiences and opportunities, and gives a historical overview over different initiatives trying to adapt the GNU/Linux environment for translation. 1 GNU/Linux – The Operating System GNU/Linux is a piece of software “that enables applications and the computer operator to access the devices on the computer to perform desired functions” (Linux Foundation 2015). It represents the deep software layer of a computer systems on which all other applications build upon. What sets GNU/Linux apart from comparable commercial solutions, such as Microsoft's Windows or Apple's OS X, is the collaborative development based on a community of programmers who contribute to the system.
