Some Major Steps to Translation and Translator

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Translation Technology and the Translator

An Approach to Example-Based Machine Translator using Translation Memory

This paper presents example-based machine translation architecture using translation memory that integrates the use of examples for flexible, idiomatic translations with the use of linguistic rules for broad coverage and grammatical accuracy. In examplebased machine translation (EBMT) approach to machine translation is often characterized by its use of a bilingual corpus with parallel texts as ...

Taking Statistical Machine Translation to the Student Translator

Despite the growth of statistical machine translation (SMT) research and development in recent years, it remains somewhat out of reach for the translation community where programming expertise and knowledge of statistics tend not to be commonplace. While the concept of SMT is relatively straightforward, its implementation in functioning systems remains difficult for most, regardless of expertis...

Lecture Translator - Speech translation framework for simultaneous lecture translation

Foreign students at German universities often have difficulties following lectures as they are often held in German. Since human interpreters are too expensive for universities we are addressing this problem via speech translation technology deployed in KIT’s lecture halls. Our simultaneous lecture translation system automatically translates lectures from German to English in real-time. Other s...
