MT Bazaar: Translation Ecosystems in the Cloud
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce and discuss various elements of emerging translation ecosystems that facilitate new community-based, collaborative and crowdsourced approaches and business models based on cloud computing technology platforms, smart marketplaces with aggregation, recombination and hyperdistribution, and that make the online world and its user services exponentially better than the simple sum of their individual parts. Besides the elaboration of the methodological and computational frameworks, our discussion also includes two succinct case studies that show how a globally operating German automotive manufacturer and an SME in the field of serious online gaming will employ this new service infrastructure by extending the capabilities of an already deployed flexible Translation Management Framework within a three-dimensional translingual webservices-based information space.

On the Translation Quality of Google Translate: With a Concentration on Adjectives
Translation, whose first traces date back at least to 3000 BC (Newmark, 1988), has always been considered time-consuming and labor-consuming. In view of this, experts have made numerous efforts to develop some mechanical systems which can reduce part of this time and labor. The advancement of computers in the second half of the twentieth century paved the ground for the invention of machine tra...
