MT Wins the Translation Market

Use of machine translation is now evolving to a standard practice for language service providers worldwide, just as use of translation memories has already become a must. According to experts, the portion of translation agencies which use MT has increased from 5 to 60% in the recent 5 years.

But why do LSP use machine translation?

1. MT reduces costs and increases efficiency of the translation process.2. MT improves overall translation quality.3. MT speeds up the translation.

MT implementation boosts LSP competitive power.

Economy from Efficient Translation Process Organization

1. Up to 70% economy due to reduction of manual text entry. Post-editing is quicker than typing.

2. Less number of times the human translator needs to go through the text in order to produce a high-quality translation.

3. Up to 70% economy of editor’s time thanks to terminology enforcement.

4. Reduction of time needed for the human translator to find a translation of a new term.

Overall Translation Quality

1. Enforced integration of unified terminology – by adding the required translation variants to the project dictionary.

2. Enforced Style Guide integration – by defining translation rules in the system.

The result is:• Unification of human translations before the editing and

proofreading stage• Reduced influence of the human factor• Reuse of valuable translation patterns • Proactive conflict elimination

Machine Translation CustomizationWith bare machine translation, you save costs by 15%. But customized machine translation provides additional 20% of economy. To sum up, you reduce the translation cost by 35% when using MT.

PROMT LSP 9.0 provides a wide range of features to customizemachine translation according to your requirements.

Main steps:1. Extract a list of source terms.

2. Based on the extracted terms, create a user dictionary for the project (the “project dictionary”.

3. Define the machine translation profile to be used in the project:1. Select and prioritize specialized dictionaries.2. Set the required translation rules.3. Add necessary translation memories.4. Add the project dictionary.

1. Terms Extraction and Preview

Terms contained in the source text

Dictionaries that include the term

Source contexts with the selected term

Preview of machine translation of the term

Ensures correct translation of terms and essential words and expressions in the text. Eliminates the need for manual pre-analysis of customer-provided glossaries from the source text’s perspective.

Easy mode allows the user to quickly enter and view dictionary entries

Extended mode enables you to define linguistic settings for each dictionary entry

2. Creation of Project Dictionary

• In the project dictionary, you can store a correct translation for each extracted term.

• When doing so, terminology conflicts are resolved, including those in customer-provided glossaries, and a correct translation for each term is proactively selected.

PROMT LSP Translator Main Window

1. Terms from different sources, e.g. specialized or user dictionaries, TMs, are highlighted.2. Reference information allows you to conduct a research on your term using information from different sources, including external sources.3. Translation settings contain a hierarchy of dictionaries with the project dictionary on the top, translation rules and TM settings.4. Translation analysis provides a list of non-recognized words and statistics on text coverage by the dictionaries in use.

Source text: Prior to the advent of the microprocessor, a computer was usually built in a card-cage case or mainframe with components connected by a backplane consisting of a set of slots themselves connected with wires; in very old designs the wires were discrete connections between card connector pins, but printed circuit boards soon became the standard practice. The Central Processing Unit, memory and peripherals were housed on individual printed circuit boards which plugged into the backplane.

До появления микропроцессора компьютер обычно создавался в корпусе с каркасом для плат или мэйнфрейме с компонентами, соединенными основной платой, состоящей из самого ряда слотов, соединенных проводами; в очень старых проектах провода были дискретными соединениями между контактами соединителя карты, но печатные платы скоро стали общепринятой практикой. Центральный процессор, память и периферийные устройства были помещены в корпус на отдельных печатных платах, которые включили основную плату.
