Translators at work with TRANSTYPE: Resource and Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
TRANSTYPE is an interactive machine translation prototype which has been designed at RALI with the hope that it could efficiently assist translators in their day work. During spring 2001, the latest version of our prototype was evaluated in an in situ setting. We first describe our evaluation protocol and then analyse the data we obtained. Second, we know that TRANSTYPE has been emulated and a few clones of it are already available. Therefore we have decided to open our log-files to the small but growing TRANSTYPE community. We believe such a database to be a helpful resource for both the researchers involved in the TRANSTYPE project, and also for all those interested in observing translators at work. Third, we briefly describe a free TRANSTYPE Player tool that we have developped; that is, a JAVA application which allows a given log-file to be played back.

TransType: Text Prediction for Translators
Text prediction is a novel form of interactive machine translation that is well suited to skilled translators. It has the potential to assist in several ways: speeding typing, suggesting possible translations, and averting translator errors. However, recent evaluations of a prototype prediction system showed that predictions can also distract and hinder translators if made indiscriminately. We ...
متن کاملUser Interface Aspects of a Translation Typing System
This paper describes the user interface design and evaluation of TransType, a system that watches over the user as he or she types a translation and repeatedly suggests completions for the text already entered. We show that this innovative approach to a translation tool, both unobtrusive and very useful, can be very productive for the translators.
متن کاملTransType2 : The Last Word
This paper presents the results of the usability evaluations that were conducted within TransType2, an international R&D project the goal of which was to develop a novel approach to interactive machine translation. We briefly sketch the TransType system and then describe the methodology that we elaborated for the five rounds of user trials that were held on the premises of two translation agenc...
