Master Reference Master A Comparative Study of Two FOSS Localisation Tools : Pootle and Virtaal SIANO, Valeria Abstract This thesis is focused on the analysis and comparison of two popular FOSS localisation tools: Pootle, a web-based system, and Virtaal, a stand-alone tool. As FOSS programs are not always localised by professionals, the main purpose of our study was to determine which tool would be better for a novice translator who wants to start collaborating on a project. By following the EAGLES final report, we evaluated three main characteristics (functionality, efficiency, usability) together with their sub-characteristics (suitability, accuracy, time behaviour, understandability, learnability, operability, attractiveness) by the means of a feature inspection, a scenario test and a task-specific questionnaire. Since we would also like to have the point of view of active users of the two tools, we subsequently performed an online survey. Results showed that Virtaal and Pootle scores were similar in both our study and online survey. Consequently, we can argue that both tools are appropriate for beginners. Reference SIANO, Valeria. A Comparative Study of Two FOSS Localisation Tools : Pootle and Virtaal. Master : Univ. Genève, 2015 Available at: http://archive-ouverte.unige.ch/unige:75916 Disclaimer: layout of this document may differ from the published version. 1 / 1 Valeria Siano MA Thesis A Comparative Study of Two FOSS Localisation Tools: Pootle and Virtaal Supervisor: Dr. Lucía Morado Vázquez Examiner: Marianne Starlander Faculty of Translation and Interpreting, University of Geneva Department of Translation Technology August 2015 1 J’affirme avoir pris connaissance des documents d’information et de prévention du plagiat émis par l’Université de Genève et la Faculté de traduction et d’interprétation (notamment la Directive en matière de plagiat des étudiant-e-s, le Règlement d’études de la Faculté de traduction et d’interprétation ainsi que l’Aide-mémoire à l’intention des étudiants préparant un mémoire de Ma en traduction). J’atteste que ce travail est le fruit d’un travail personnel et a été rédigé de manière autonome. Je déclare que toutes les sources d’information utilisées sont citées de manière complète et précise, y compris les sources sur Internet. Je suis consciente que le fait de ne pas citer une source ou de ne pas la citer correctement est constitutif de plagiat et que le plagiat est considéré comme une faute grave au sein de l’Université, passible de sanctions. Au vu de ce qui précède, je déclare sur l’honneur que le présent travail est original. Nom et prénom : SIANO Valeria Lieu / date / signature : Genève, le 15 Juillet 2015 2 L’importante non è il voto, ma rispettare il proprio dovere e portarlo avanti fino in fondo. P. Borsellino 3 Acknowledgements Me gustaría agradecer a la Dra. Lucía Morado Vázquez por todos los consejos que me ha dado, por lo servicial y, sobre todo, paciente, que ha sido conmigo y por haberme transmitido su pasión por la localización. I would like to thank Marianne Starlander, who was pleased to accept being on my jury. J’aimerais remercier les administrateurs de Sympa pour avoir héberger mes projets sur leur serveur Pootle. En particulier, je souhaiterais remercier David Verdin, car sans son aide et sa disponibilité mon étude n’aurait pas pu être conduite. I would also like to thank participants to this evaluation, who decided to spend some of their time helping me. I would like to thank the staff at Translated for authorising me to use an image taken from their website. Vorrei ringraziare soprattutto la mia famiglia, che mi è stata vicina durante questi lunghi anni di studio, nonostante la lontananza, che mi ha sostenuto nei momenti di sconforto e che mi ha insegnato che nella vita bisogna lottare per ciò che si vuole, senza mai perdere di vista i propri valori. Vorrei ringraziare i miei amici (sperando lo siano ancora dopo i miei mesi di “ritiro ascetico” per via della tesi), che non hanno mai smesso di incoraggiarmi. Ed infine vorrei ringraziare te, che sai già tutto e che hai creduto in me fino alla fine. 4 Table of Contents General Introduction .................................................................. 9 1.

  • Working with Digital Video
    Working with digital video By admin Published: 10/04/2007 - 08:35 Peter Westenberg , October 2007 Working with digital video is part of many artistic disciplines. Besides single screen narratives, video productions can range from animation, multiple screen installation to interactive work. Still, many aspects of digital video can be traced back to the history of film. The interface of a timeline editing software such as Cinelerra [1] shows a multitrack timeline, a viewing monitor, a bin for clips; echoing the setup of a flatbed table for editing celluloid. A dual head set up Cinelerra work station The physical materiality of film and video are fundamentaly different: celluloid versus pixels, chemicals versus algorhytms, but the relationship between film and video has mutually matured. As outlined by Matt Hanson [1b] , video expands cinematographic traditions in new directions, filmmakers can benefit from digitisation by reclaiming the central position of creativity in the film process, as pointed out by Samira Makhmalbaf. [1c] 1 / 28 An 'Old Delft Cinemonta' 16mm editing table in use at the Filmwerkplaats in Rotterdam Digital video also roots in artistic practices of the sixties and seventies. [1a] Artists started using video to capture temporary performances (Joan Jonas [2] , Vito Acconci [3] ), they integrated video monitors in installations (Nam June Paik [4] ), experimented with filters and mixing in video paintings (Peter Campus [5] ). Compared to film cameras, video cameras had a strong feature: it became possible connect a monitor and view directly what the camera recorded. Today, artists can use softwares such as Lives [5] , Jahshaka [6] , Zone Minder [7] or Pure Data [8] and Linux distributions aimed at audio and visual creation such as Dyne:bolic [9] Apodio [10] and Ubuntu Studio [11] to further explore the possibilities of real time video, multiple camera input and live interaction.

It seems like everyone these days is downloading, watching, and sharing videos from video-sharing sites like YouTube, Google Video, MetaCafe, DailyMotion, Veoh, Break, and a ton of other similar sites. Whether you want to watch the video on your iPod while working out, insert it into a PowerPoint presentation to add some spice, or simply download a video before it’s removed, it’s quite essential to know how to download, convert, and play these videos. There are basically two ways to download videos off the Internet and that’s how I’ll split up this post: either via a web app or via a desktop application. Personally, I like the web applications better simply because you don’t have to clutter up and slow down your computer with all kinds of software! UPDATE: MakeUseOf put together an excellent list of the best websites for watching movies, TV shows, documentaries and standups online.

Designing a video game localization course in translation undergraduate programs in public universities is a complex task in today’s reality, particularly due to limited access to free and authentic materials. This paper describes a game localization teaching experience at the undergraduate level with special focus on how to handle the linguistic assets of the online race game SuperTuxKart, while trying to shed some light on potential translation requirements of entertainment software and its incorporation into translation programs. KEYWORDS: video game localization; video game translation; translator training; translation undergraduate program; SuperTuxKart. RESUMO: A despeito do significativo crescimento da indústria de localização de games nos últimos anos, os currículos dos cursos de graduação em tradução ainda carecem de formação específica na localização de games, geralmente não oferecendo ao tradutor em formação alternativas outras senão a de adquirir informalmente, ou em comunidades on- line de gamers, os conhecimentos sobre a tradução desse tipo de material.

  • 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.

Association for Machine Translation in the Americas http://www.amtaweb.org ©2015 The Authors. These articles are licensed under a Creative Commons 3.0 license, no derivative works, attribution, CC-BY-ND. Introduction The fourth Workshop on Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP4) was organised for November 3rd, 2015, in Miami, USA, as a workshop of the XVth MT Summit. This was the fourth in a series of workshops organised since 2012 (WPTP1 – San Diego 2012, WPTP2 – Nice 2013, WPTP3 – Vancouver 2014). The accepted papers for WPTP4 cover a range of topics such as the teaching of post- editing skills, measuring the cognitive effort of post-editing, and quality assessment of post-edited output. The papers were also book-ended by two invited talks by Elliott Macklovitch (Independent Consultant) and John Tinsley (Iconic Translation Machines). Elliott Macklovitch’s talk was entitled “What Translators Need to Become Happy Post- Editors” while John Tinsley’s talk was entitled “What MT Developers Are Doing to Make Post-Editors Happy”. By juxtaposing these two points of view we hoped to provide an interesting frame for attendees where the views of users and developers were represented. We sincerely thank the authors of the papers as well as our two invited speakers for sharing their research.
