Solving this problem with corpus statistical, and neural techniques is a rapidly growing field that is leading to better translations, handling differences in linguistic typology, translation of idioms, and the isolation of anomalies.\r\nCurrent machine translation software often allows for customization by domain or profession (such as weather reports), improving output by limiting the scope of allowable substitutions. This technique is particularly effective in domains where formal or formulaic language is used. It follows that machine translation of government and legal documents more readily produces usable output than conversation or less standardised text.\r\nImproved output quality can also be achieved by human intervention: for example, some systems are able to translate more accurately if the user has unambiguously identified which words in the text are proper names. With the assistance of these techniques, MT has proven useful as a tool to assist human translators and, in a very limited number of cases, can even produce output that can be used as is (e.g., weather reports).\r\nThe progress and potential of machine translation have been debated much through its history. Since the 1950s, a number of scholars have questioned the possibility of achieving fully automatic machine translation of high quality, first and most notably by Yehoshua Bar-Hillel. Some critics claim that there are in-principle obstacles to automating the translation process.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is Machine Translation?</span>\r\nMachine translation (MT) is an automated translation by computer software. MT can be used to translate entire texts without any human input or can be used alongside human translators. The concept of MT started gaining traction in the early 50s and has come a long way since. Many used to consider MT an inadequate alternative to human translators, but as the technology has advanced, more and more companies are turning to MT to aid human translators and optimize the localization process.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How Does Machine Translation Work?</span>\r\nWell, that depends on the type of machine translation engine. There are several different kinds of MT software which work in different ways. We will introduce Rule-based, Statistical, and Neural.\r\nRule-based machine translation (RBMT) is the forefather of MT software. It is based on sets of grammatical and syntactical rules and phraseology of a language. RBMT links the structure of the source segment to the target segment, producing a result based on analysis of the rules of the source and target languages. The rules are developed by linguists and users can add terminology to override the MT and improve the translation quality.\r\nStatistical MT (SMT) started in the age of big data and uses large amounts of existing translated texts and statistical models and algorithms to generate translations. This system relies heavily on available multilingual corpora and an average of two millions words are needed to train the engine for a specific domain – which can be time and resource-intensive. When using domain-specific data, SMT can produce good quality translations, especially in the technical, medical, and financial fields.\r\nNeural MT (NMT) is a new approach that is built on deep neural networks. There are a variety of network architectures used in NMT but typically, the network can be divided into two components: an encoder which reads the input sentence and generates a representation suitable for translation, and a decoder which generates the actual translation. Words and even whole sentences are represented as vectors of real numbers in NMT. Compared to the previous generation of MT, NMT generates outputs which tend to be more fluent and grammatically accurate. Overall, NMT is a major step in MT quality. However, NMT may slightly lack previous approaches when it comes to translating rare words and terminology. Long and/or complex sentences are still an issue even for state-of-the-art NMT systems.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the Pros and Cons of Machine Translation?</span>\r\n<ul><li>MT is incredibly fast and can translate thousands of words per minute.</li><li>It can translate into multiple languages at once which drastically reduces the amount of manpower needed.</li><li>Implementing MT into your localization process can do the heavy lifting for translators and free up their valuable time, allowing them to focus on the more intricate aspects of translation.</li><li>MT technology is developing rapidly and is constantly advancing towards producing higher quality translations and reducing the need for post-editing.</li></ul>\r\nThere are many advantages of using MT but we can’t ignore the disadvantages. MT does not always produce perfect translations. Unlike human translators, computers can’t understand context and culture, therefore MT can’t be used to translate anything and everything. Sometimes MT alone is suitable, while others a combination of MT and human translation is best. Sometimes it is not suitable at all. MT is not a one-size-fits-all translation solution.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">When Should You Use Machine Translation?</span>\r\nWhen translating creative or literary content, MT is not a suitable choice. This can also be the case when translating culturally specific-texts. A good rule of thumb is the more complex your content is, the less suitable it is for MT.\r\nFor large volumes of content, especially if it has a short turnaround time, MT is very effective. If accuracy is not vital, MT can produce suitable translations at a fraction of the cost. Customer reviews, news monitoring, internal documents, and product descriptions are all good candidates.\r\nUsing a combination of MT along with a human translator post-editor opens the doors to a wider variety of suitable content.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Which MT Engine Should You Use?</span>\r\nNot all MT engines are created equal, but there is no specific MT engine for a specific kind of content. Publicly available MT engines are designed to be able to translate most types of content, however, with custom MT engines the training data can be tailored to a specific domain or content type.\r\nUltimately, choosing an MT engine is a process. You need to choose the kind of content you wish to translate, review security and privacy policies, run tests on text samples, choose post-editors, and several other considerations. The key is to do your research before making a decision. And, if you are using a translation management system (TMS) be sure it is able to support your chosen MT engine.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Using Machine Translation and a Translation Management System</span>\r\nYou can use MT on its own, but to get the maximum benefits we suggest integrating it with a TMS.&nbsp; With these technologies integrated, you will be able to leverage additional tools such as translation memories, termbases, and project management features to help streamline and optimize your localization strategy. You will have greater control over your translations, and be able to analyze the effectiveness of your MT engine.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Machine_Translation.png"},{"id":425,"title":"Linguistics Software","alias":"linguistics-software","description":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Linguistic software</span> - computer programs and data that provide analysis, processing, storage and retrieval of audio data, pictures (OCR) and texts in natural language.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \"></span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Linguistic analysis software</span> is a tool that enhances the comprehension of information present in documents, or across a set of documents. Some linguistic analysis software tools use an automatic mathematical or statistical approach to analyze and extract relations that occur in a set of documents and the words they contain. The idea is that the distribution and frequency of relevant terms in documents that cover a specific topic is similar and that the meaning of a specific word can be inferred by the above assumption. \r\nThe term CAT stands for <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Computer-Assisted Translation Tool</span>. CAT tools have significantly changed the way how translators work and manage translation projects today. CAT tools split large multilingual documents into segments (phrases &amp; paragraphs) which are stored in a database. This is called translation memory which means that previously translated material can be reused at any time. Nowadays, it is more common for enterprises and translators to use CAT tools to speed up their work and increase their productivity globally.A number of computer-assisted translation software and websites exists for various platforms and access types.\r\nAccording to a 2006 survey undertaken by Imperial College of 874 translation professionals from 54 countries, primary tool usage was reported as follows: Trados (35%), Wordfast (17%), Déjà Vu (16%), SDL Trados 2006 (15%), SDLX (4%), STAR Transit (3%), OmegaT (3%), others (7%).\r\n\r\n<br /><br />","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\">CAT Tool Functionality</h1>\r\n<ul><li>Spell checkers, autocorrect—automatically highlight and fix spelling and grammar mistakes.</li><li>In-context review—display multimedia documents with images, text box sizes and layout in real time in both source and target language.</li><li>Integrated machine translation—suggest translations for segments from a connected MT engine.</li><li>Adaptive machine translation—offer translations for segments from a connected MT engine as autosuggest pop-ups, learn from user input.</li><li>Concordance—retrieve instances of a word or an expression and their respective context in a text corpus, such as a translation memory database, to check their usage.</li><li>Electronic dictionaries—allow term search inside the tool, track usage statistics.</li><li>Text search tools—find phrases or terms in the text for reference.</li><li>Alignment—build translation memories texts from source text and its translation. When a translation company adopts a CAT-tool, they often use alignment to create their first TM databases.</li></ul>\r\nThere are online and offline CAT tools available for purchase. Web-based CAT tools work in the web browser; desktop CAT tools require installation and do not depend on internet connection stability.\r\nBasic CAT tools support MS Office formats, such as .docx, .odt, .csv, .xlsx, plus .html files and .xml. The primary translation industry formats are XLIFF, and tmx. Advanced tools also support various software formats, such as .json, .properties, Visual Studio, as well layout building software such as InDesign, Corel Draw and sometimes AutoCAD.\r\nCAT tools are useful when translating multimedia formats. They extract text for editing and rebuild files in the target language after the translation is finished. This ability reduces the time needed to create multilingual artwork. Instead of fishing for each individual bit of text on the page, the translator simply goes segment by segment in plain text.\r\n<p class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Automated Quality Assurance (AutoQA)</span></p>\r\nAutoQA tools scan bilingual texts and detect errors in translation, such as wrong numbers and number format, incorrect terminology, missing tags, missing segments, erroneous formatting and many others.

In 'translation memories', a customer's existing translations are stored in the form of text segments that can be automatically retrieved by a translator working on a new translation. As such, there is no need to re-translate previously translated text segments, phrases and terms, an advantage that improves both the consistency of the translations and the translator's efficiency, while also reducing translation costs. In order to make the best possible use of these capabilities 24translate, working alongside 24technology, developed a TMS with a unique range of functions: 24|tcm.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How do translation memory systems support our translators with their work?</span>\r\nLike glossaries, translation memory systems are effective aides in the translation process. The decision as to how to translate a given sentence fragment, however, is still up to the translator. Our software does not replace the translator but rather supports them by providing access to intelligent memory and search functions. As such, our system continues to rely on quality work by specialist translators: Only when it is 'fed' with intelligent translations can it provide intelligent suggestions for translation.\r\nIn practice, the individual translation segments are stored as a language pair consisting of source and target text, which is then automatically suggested in future translation projects bearing identical or similar text passages. All translators working for a specific company rely on the same translation memory (database). On the one hand, this significantly lowers translators' manual research efforts, while on the other it prevents deviation from specific terminology or phrases in subsequent translations and/or the work of additional translators.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">24|tcm in use</span>\r\n24translate maintains a company-specific translation memory (abbreviated TM) for each of its clients.

In a survey of language professionals in 2006, 82.5% out of 874 replies confirmed the use of a TM.

This means that somebody in the past had already translated that exact segment. There are also 101% and 102% matches, which means that not only the current segment, but also one or both of those before and/or after it are the same as stored in this TM entry.\r\nMatches below 100% are called fuzzy matches. These are ranked from 0% to 99%. A 99% match means that the segments differ by at least one character. Matches below 70% are often considered useless and might not show up, depending on the settings.\r\n“Repetitions” are identical segments within one document that have no translation in the translation memory yet. Most automated&nbsp; translation software scan for repetitions before the translator starts working. After the translator is done with the first occurrence of these, all others will get filled in automatically. \r\nBesides matches as such, you can use your existing translation memories for concordance searches — where you investigate if the translation memory has a certain term was translated before, if the segment as a whole wasn’t.<br />\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What are the benefits of translation memory?</span><br /></h1>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Speeds up Translation: </span>A TM offers previously translated sentences that are identical to the current translation, with differences only in numbers, tags, formatting, punctuation or spacing.<br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Reduces Translation Costs:</span> Translation memory is usually the most effective with texts that include many repetitions, such as website content, games, contracts and product manuals.<br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Increases Translation Quality: </span>Proactively prevent inconsistencies by storing correct phrases and sentences.

Solving this problem with corpus statistical, and neural techniques is a rapidly growing field that is leading to better translations, handling differences in linguistic typology, translation of idioms, and the isolation of anomalies.\r\nCurrent machine translation software often allows for customization by domain or profession (such as weather reports), improving output by limiting the scope of allowable substitutions. This technique is particularly effective in domains where formal or formulaic language is used. It follows that machine translation of government and legal documents more readily produces usable output than conversation or less standardised text.\r\nImproved output quality can also be achieved by human intervention: for example, some systems are able to translate more accurately if the user has unambiguously identified which words in the text are proper names. With the assistance of these techniques, MT has proven useful as a tool to assist human translators and, in a very limited number of cases, can even produce output that can be used as is (e.g., weather reports).\r\nThe progress and potential of machine translation have been debated much through its history. Since the 1950s, a number of scholars have questioned the possibility of achieving fully automatic machine translation of high quality, first and most notably by Yehoshua Bar-Hillel. Some critics claim that there are in-principle obstacles to automating the translation process.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is Machine Translation?</span>\r\nMachine translation (MT) is an automated translation by computer software. MT can be used to translate entire texts without any human input or can be used alongside human translators. The concept of MT started gaining traction in the early 50s and has come a long way since. Many used to consider MT an inadequate alternative to human translators, but as the technology has advanced, more and more companies are turning to MT to aid human translators and optimize the localization process.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How Does Machine Translation Work?</span>\r\nWell, that depends on the type of machine translation engine. There are several different kinds of MT software which work in different ways. We will introduce Rule-based, Statistical, and Neural.\r\nRule-based machine translation (RBMT) is the forefather of MT software. It is based on sets of grammatical and syntactical rules and phraseology of a language. RBMT links the structure of the source segment to the target segment, producing a result based on analysis of the rules of the source and target languages. The rules are developed by linguists and users can add terminology to override the MT and improve the translation quality.\r\nStatistical MT (SMT) started in the age of big data and uses large amounts of existing translated texts and statistical models and algorithms to generate translations. This system relies heavily on available multilingual corpora and an average of two millions words are needed to train the engine for a specific domain – which can be time and resource-intensive. When using domain-specific data, SMT can produce good quality translations, especially in the technical, medical, and financial fields.\r\nNeural MT (NMT) is a new approach that is built on deep neural networks. There are a variety of network architectures used in NMT but typically, the network can be divided into two components: an encoder which reads the input sentence and generates a representation suitable for translation, and a decoder which generates the actual translation. Words and even whole sentences are represented as vectors of real numbers in NMT. Compared to the previous generation of MT, NMT generates outputs which tend to be more fluent and grammatically accurate. Overall, NMT is a major step in MT quality. However, NMT may slightly lack previous approaches when it comes to translating rare words and terminology. Long and/or complex sentences are still an issue even for state-of-the-art NMT systems.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the Pros and Cons of Machine Translation?</span>\r\n<ul><li>MT is incredibly fast and can translate thousands of words per minute.</li><li>It can translate into multiple languages at once which drastically reduces the amount of manpower needed.</li><li>Implementing MT into your localization process can do the heavy lifting for translators and free up their valuable time, allowing them to focus on the more intricate aspects of translation.</li><li>MT technology is developing rapidly and is constantly advancing towards producing higher quality translations and reducing the need for post-editing.</li></ul>\r\nThere are many advantages of using MT but we can’t ignore the disadvantages. MT does not always produce perfect translations. Unlike human translators, computers can’t understand context and culture, therefore MT can’t be used to translate anything and everything. Sometimes MT alone is suitable, while others a combination of MT and human translation is best. Sometimes it is not suitable at all. MT is not a one-size-fits-all translation solution.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">When Should You Use Machine Translation?</span>\r\nWhen translating creative or literary content, MT is not a suitable choice. This can also be the case when translating culturally specific-texts. A good rule of thumb is the more complex your content is, the less suitable it is for MT.\r\nFor large volumes of content, especially if it has a short turnaround time, MT is very effective. If accuracy is not vital, MT can produce suitable translations at a fraction of the cost. Customer reviews, news monitoring, internal documents, and product descriptions are all good candidates.\r\nUsing a combination of MT along with a human translator post-editor opens the doors to a wider variety of suitable content.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Which MT Engine Should You Use?</span>\r\nNot all MT engines are created equal, but there is no specific MT engine for a specific kind of content. Publicly available MT engines are designed to be able to translate most types of content, however, with custom MT engines the training data can be tailored to a specific domain or content type.\r\nUltimately, choosing an MT engine is a process. You need to choose the kind of content you wish to translate, review security and privacy policies, run tests on text samples, choose post-editors, and several other considerations. The key is to do your research before making a decision. And, if you are using a translation management system (TMS) be sure it is able to support your chosen MT engine.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Using Machine Translation and a Translation Management System</span>\r\nYou can use MT on its own, but to get the maximum benefits we suggest integrating it with a TMS.&nbsp; With these technologies integrated, you will be able to leverage additional tools such as translation memories, termbases, and project management features to help streamline and optimize your localization strategy. You will have greater control over your translations, and be able to analyze the effectiveness of your MT engine.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Machine_Translation.png"},{"id":425,"title":"Linguistics Software","alias":"linguistics-software","description":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Linguistic software</span> - computer programs and data that provide analysis, processing, storage and retrieval of audio data, pictures (OCR) and texts in natural language.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \"></span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Linguistic analysis software</span> is a tool that enhances the comprehension of information present in documents, or across a set of documents. Some linguistic analysis software tools use an automatic mathematical or statistical approach to analyze and extract relations that occur in a set of documents and the words they contain. The idea is that the distribution and frequency of relevant terms in documents that cover a specific topic is similar and that the meaning of a specific word can be inferred by the above assumption. \r\nThe term CAT stands for <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Computer-Assisted Translation Tool</span>. CAT tools have significantly changed the way how translators work and manage translation projects today. CAT tools split large multilingual documents into segments (phrases &amp; paragraphs) which are stored in a database. This is called translation memory which means that previously translated material can be reused at any time. Nowadays, it is more common for enterprises and translators to use CAT tools to speed up their work and increase their productivity globally.A number of computer-assisted translation software and websites exists for various platforms and access types.\r\nAccording to a 2006 survey undertaken by Imperial College of 874 translation professionals from 54 countries, primary tool usage was reported as follows: Trados (35%), Wordfast (17%), Déjà Vu (16%), SDL Trados 2006 (15%), SDLX (4%), STAR Transit (3%), OmegaT (3%), others (7%).\r\n\r\n<br /><br />","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\">CAT Tool Functionality</h1>\r\n<ul><li>Spell checkers, autocorrect—automatically highlight and fix spelling and grammar mistakes.</li><li>In-context review—display multimedia documents with images, text box sizes and layout in real time in both source and target language.</li><li>Integrated machine translation—suggest translations for segments from a connected MT engine.</li><li>Adaptive machine translation—offer translations for segments from a connected MT engine as autosuggest pop-ups, learn from user input.</li><li>Concordance—retrieve instances of a word or an expression and their respective context in a text corpus, such as a translation memory database, to check their usage.</li><li>Electronic dictionaries—allow term search inside the tool, track usage statistics.</li><li>Text search tools—find phrases or terms in the text for reference.</li><li>Alignment—build translation memories texts from source text and its translation. When a translation company adopts a CAT-tool, they often use alignment to create their first TM databases.</li></ul>\r\nThere are online and offline CAT tools available for purchase. Web-based CAT tools work in the web browser; desktop CAT tools require installation and do not depend on internet connection stability.\r\nBasic CAT tools support MS Office formats, such as .docx, .odt, .csv, .xlsx, plus .html files and .xml. The primary translation industry formats are XLIFF, and tmx. Advanced tools also support various software formats, such as .json, .properties, Visual Studio, as well layout building software such as InDesign, Corel Draw and sometimes AutoCAD.\r\nCAT tools are useful when translating multimedia formats. They extract text for editing and rebuild files in the target language after the translation is finished. This ability reduces the time needed to create multilingual artwork. Instead of fishing for each individual bit of text on the page, the translator simply goes segment by segment in plain text.\r\n<p class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Automated Quality Assurance (AutoQA)</span></p>\r\nAutoQA tools scan bilingual texts and detect errors in translation, such as wrong numbers and number format, incorrect terminology, missing tags, missing segments, erroneous formatting and many others. Complementary to spellcheckers, AutoQA helps editing.\r\nWhile popular translation memory tools feature built-in QA components, standalone software offers extended functionality and support for morphology of selected languages. Advanced functionality leads to better error detection and fewer false positives. Standalone tools may require import/export of translation files from the TMS, unless there is an integration in place.\r\n<p class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Terminology Management</span></p>\r\nTerminology Management or glossary management, refers to technologies that centrally maintain lists of subject matter-specific, company, or other technical terms to improve consistency and speed of translation. Such systems usually include guidance on terms that should not be translated to target languages or additional reference material and images to assist translators in understanding the translation material.\r\nAdvanced terminology systems include integrations with authoring tools, workflows for terminology creation and validation processes, and automated term mining functions.<br /><br />","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Linguistics_Software.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]}],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":["Reduce Costs","Enhance Staff Productivity","Ensure Security and Business Continuity","Improve Customer Service","Reduce Production Timelines","Ensure Compliance","Enhance Competitive Ability"],"implementations":[{"id":214,"title":"PROMT for AMADEUS","url":"https://old.roi4cio.com/vnedrenija/vnedrenie/promt-for-amadeus/"}],"presenterCodeLng":"","productImplementations":[{"id":214,"title":"PROMT for AMADEUS","description":"Description is not ready yet","alias":"promt-for-amadeus","roi":0,"seo":{"title":"PROMT for AMADEUS","keywords":"","description":"Description is not ready yet","og:title":"PROMT for AMADEUS","og:description":"Description is not ready yet"},"deal_info":"","user":{},"supplier":{"id":2086,"title":"PROMT","logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/promt_logo.png","alias":"promt","address":"","roles":[],"description":"PROMT is a world leading provider of automated translation software.
