Machine Translation is not the only activity where there is a trade-off between quality and speed. Metrics for measuring time are clear and universally accepted. This is not the case with metrics for quality. However it is possible to broadly rank qualities of translations done by people or machines. Also I think that after a […]
If Trados is a tool that has already been used for many years, and the translators use it more frequently each time, there are still resources who, for varying reasons, don’t know how to use this program. Partly due to their lack of technical knowledge, partly because they don’t want to spend time familiarizing themselves […]

We recently took some time to talk about AutoSuggest. No, it is not a new for of self-help self or anything like that. Instead, it is a very useful tool for translators since it goes beyond the matches in a TM segment. Let’s take a look at how this tool works. The simplicity of its […]
One of the most famous tests on the field of artificial intelligence is called the “Turing test”, after the great British mathematician Alan Turing. It consists of a human tester having a conversation with an unseen entity, say through an Internet chat, and trying to decide whether the chat is taking place with a human […]

As a policy, a translation with complicated vocabulary or terminology needs to be done with techniques and procedures that can ensure a good level of […]
