The present study aimed to shed light upon the differences of social practice of Persian translations of The Girl You Left Behind written by Jojo Moyes (2012) with original text in English based on Fairclough's (1995) model. In this regard, through a careful analysis of the source and target texts, English social prac- tice instances were selected along with their Persian equivalents as the cor...

We show that many infinite classes of permutations over finite fields can be constructed via translators with a large choice of parameters. We first characterize some functions having linear translators, based on which several families of permutations are then derived. Extending the results of [9], we give in several cases the compositional inverse of these permutations. The connection with com...

This work compares the post-editing productivity of professional translators and lay users. We integrate an English to Basque MT system within Bologna Translation Service, an endto-end translation management platform, and perform a producitivity experiment in a real working environment. Six translators and six lay users translate or post-edit two texts from English into Basque. Results suggest ...

aids for translators are beginning to look inviting and actual machine translation (MT), thrown ignominiously out of fashion by the ALPAC report in 1966, is now in use. Only our scepticism is unchanged. We remain wary, especially of MT. Yet although machine translat ion – or rather, in most cases, machine pretranslation – certainly has farreaching implications, it is not, it seems, a threat to ...

Importance for Scholarship Emanuel Tov 1. Name The name "Septuagint" designates the ancient Jewish-Greek translation of Hebrew Scripture. Septuaginta means “seventy” in Latin (usually indicated as “LXX”) and this name derives from the tradition that the very first Greek translation, that of the Torah (Pentateuch), was translated by seventy-two elders, six from each tribe. The number of seventy-...

Naively collecting translations by crowdsourcing the task to non-professional translators yields disfluent, low-quality results if no quality control is exercised. We demonstrate a variety of mechanisms that increase the translation quality to near professional levels. Specifically, we solicit redundant translations and edits to them, and automatically select the best output among them. We prop...
