Study Notes
Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) Tools
- CAT tools enhance translator productivity while maintaining human oversight in the translation process.
- They identify subtitles that may be unreadable due to excessive length or insufficient time between displays.
Machine Translation (MT) Tools
- MT tools generate translations based on statistical models that predict high likelihood equivalents for a given source language text.
- The target language model measures the probabilities related to the ordering of target language (TL) words.
- MT tools can detect inconsistencies in translations such as word segments, punctuation, numbers, and specific approved terminology.
