Real Time Multilingual Publishing

Linguaserve's ATLAS Real Time, Lucy LT, DCU MaTrEx

  • Enable an HTML5 content reviser (language editor, translation post-editor) to add ITS 2.0 metadata to the contents of web documents.
  • Use the ITS 2.0 metadata to control the behavior of different Machine Translation Systems (Lucy LT from Lucy Software and MaTrEx from DCU)and Multilingual Publication System (ATLAS Real Time from Linguaserve).
  • Covers post-editing of translations generated by MT.
  • The ITS 2.0 markup:
    • provides key information to drive the reliable extraction of translation-relevant content from HTML5;
    • helps to control workflow dimensions such as selection of domain-specific vocabulary to improve the Machine Translation results;
    • provides information for post-editing.
  • Data category usage
    • Translate - Parts that are not translation-relevant are marked (and protected).
      • Implementers: Linguaserve, DCU, LucySoftware
    • Localization Note - Provides additional information for language or translation editors to facilitate translation.
      • Implementers: Linguaserve
    • Language Information - Controls workflow dimensions such as setting the source language, and the target language (via the lang attribute of the output), it also protects the translation of contents where the lang attribute is different from the source language.
      • Implementers: Linguaserve, DCU, LucySoftware
    • Domain - Domain values are mapped to the domains used by the individual MT systems, and used to select the appropriate vocabulary.
      • Implementers: Linguaserve, DCU, LucySoftware
    • Provenance - Allows tracking of human agents (language or translation editors) or software agents (MT systems) that processed the content.
      • Implementers: Linguaserve
    • Localization Quality Issue - Can be provided for the translated content by the reviser. Can be utilized for example by MT developers to improve the MT System.
      • Implementers: Linguaserve
    • Locale Filter - Reveals that content is only relevant for certain locales (useful in localization).
      • Implementers: DCU
    • MT Confidence - Assesses the confidence in the quality of the translation generated by the MT system.
      • Implementers: DCU
  • Cross-platform (PHP)
