Computers in Translation

In our last segment we discussed various steps it takes to produce translation: translation, proofreading, desktop publishing and quality assurance. We also discussed that inconsistencies, misspellings and typos have to be caught and corrected by the time the translation is finalized. While spelling and typos fall solely on the shoulders of the translation team, consistency is one thing they can get help from a machine.

In previous article we talked about how important consistency is and how difficult it is to ensure that a certain term is translated the same way throughout the whole document that could be dozens or hundreds of pages long. Not only does terminology has to be the same in a document, it also has to match in previous documents. That's when a translator relies on Computer Assisted Translation Tools, CAT Tools for short.

CAT Tool is not machine translation. In other words it's not a program that gives you a translation of a certain phrase when typed in. Rather it is a program that remembers certain word or phrase or even paragraph that you've already translated earlier in this document or in previous one. So if you are translating "Warning" into French as "Mise en garde" but it was previously translated as "Avertissement", the program will be able to let you know that. CAT Tools are a big help in building glossaries and translation memories.

In our next segment we'll take a look at how translation is priced. Should be interesting.

Stay tuned!
