Study Notes
Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) Tools
- CAT tools enhance the efficiency of human translators without replacing their core tasks.
- They utilize a centralized database to allow multiple translators to access the same translation resources, ensuring consistency.
- Translation memory (TM) acts as a reference system, offering suggestions based on previously translated segments.
Impact on Translator Rewards
- Rewards for translators are based on the amount of effort required to review or edit translations.
- The integration of TM allows for more accurate and potentially higher rewards due to reduced time spent on repetitive tasks.
Current Trends in Machine Translation (MT)
- The predominant use of free online MT is driven by the need for quick comprehension of incoming information rather than for professional translation.
- MT tools are often used for rapid assimilation of content, indicating a shift in how translation is approached in the digital age.
Target-Language Model
- The model is constructed using large bilingual corpora, ideally composed of millions of words.
- Such a model enhances the quality and accuracy of translations by leveraging extensive data to inform language processing.
