Experience from Translation of EU Documents

There are three main actors in the ideal translation workflow: the translator, the terminologist and the reviser. We describe all the three roles in terms of their input and output information in the translation workflow and developed a language technology toolkit to help them to solve their tasks as effective as possible. In the project “Translation EU Legislation Texts into Hungarian” translators and revisers belong to various agencies, and the agencies communicate to each other via the Central Program Office. This organisational issue helps to ignore technical difficulties in the workflow caused by the different technical education of the translators.
