Knowledge of Provenance and its Effects on Translation Performance in an Integrated TM/MT Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
The integration of machine translation (MT) and translation-memory (TM) systems in professional translation settings has turned pre-translation + post-editing into an attractive alternative in terms of productivity for all parties involved in the translation process. In some cases, source files are pre-translated using a combination of customised MT and TM before reaching the translators, who then become reviewers, or post-editors. But how does this actually affect productivity and how do translators feel when performing this new activity? In order to look for answers to those questions, I ran a pilot experiment comparing two different environments. The basic difference between the two is the availability of information on the provenance of the suggested translation for a particular segment (whether it comes from MT, TM, and at which match percentage). Data were collected using screen recording, keystroke logging and post-performance interviews.

Translation Technology Tools and Professional Translators’ Attitudes toward Them
Today technology is an integral part of professional translation; and it is generally assumed that translators’ attitudes toward translation technology tools influence their interaction with technology (Bundgaard, 2017). Therefore, the present two-phase study seeks to shed some light on what translation technology tools are and how professional translators feel toward them. The research method ...

The Integration of Machine Translation and Translation Memory
We design and evaluate several models for integrating Machine Translation (MT) output into a Translation Memory (TM) environment to facilitate the adoption of MT technology in the localization industry. We begin with the integration on the segment level via translation recommendation and translation reranking. Given an input to be translated, our translation recommendation model compares the ou...
