Horizon of expectations, as a core concept in Reception Aesthetics, provides a new methodological basis for literary translation. Owing to this theory, literary translation is no longer a one-way process which is text-centered and transmitted by a translator with readers passively accepting everything, but an ever-going dialogic process between translator and the literary work, and between tran...

Actor Prolog is a concurrent object-oriented logic language developed in [1]. We demonstrate a state-of-the-art translator of Actor Prolog to Java developed in the framework of the Intelligent Visual Surveillance Logic Programming project [2]. The translator implements a set of high-level and low-level code optimization methods and generates a kind of the idiomatic (i.e., well-readable) source ...

language like other inventions was originated to serve human needs in different civilization. different language was created later. contextually the importance of translation from one language to another is not only to understand words; as the words are not the elements of translation. importance and base of translation lies in context to understand it. after getting the content, one should d...

This report outlines a machine translation system whose linguistic component is based on principles of Government and Binding. A "universal grammar" is defined, together with pal-ameters of variation for specific languages. The system, written in Prolog, parses, generates, and translates between English and Spanish (both directions).

This paper presentsMetaTrans, a meta-search engine for online dictionaries. With this software, users are able to find translations in a number of online dictionaries simultaneously. The MetaTrans features a web interface which is easy to use. The modular design of the tool enables adding support for more online dictionaries with minimal effort. MetaTrans also utilizes information from text cor...

An Android mobile visual text translator is proposed and developed. The translator is able to extract text from images and perform in situ translation. Our app can automatically recognize texts in simple plain images such as book, sign, and map and overlays the translated text on top of the original one, while preserving information such as location, color, font size, etc. This is often needed ...

Better programming productivity may be obtained by choosing suitable programming paradigms. For development of complex software systems, multiparadigm programming would usually be appropriate. However, its use may be hindered by a lack of languages and programming support tools. As this paper argues, multiparadigm programming may be supported by translators that convert programs written in one ...
