Problems solved by technology

In fact, when only a few words are changed, the translator needs to confirm and possibly take action for each sentence, which is very inefficient assuming that a segment needs to be translated differently under different circumstances or contexts in the related art

example

[0122] refer to image 3 , assuming that the example lookup segment 154 includes the text "team of visionaries" and that it is to be translated into French. Also, suppose the lookup segment "team of visionaries" has a pre-LS US hash code of 333 and a post-LS US hash code of 4444, and a footage context of 666666. (It should be understood that for clarity, image 3 All hash codes in are simplified). Such as image 3 As shown in , when the search segment "team of visionaries" is translated into French, the exact match determiner 130 will determine 4 exact matches for the search segment "team of visionaries": 1) équipe de visionnaires, 2) groupe de visionnaires , 3) bande des visionnaires and 4) groupe de futurologues. ICE Match Evaluator 144 checks for the exact match, as image 3 As shown, it will determine that when the lookup segment "team of visionaries" is translated into French, the source text "groupe de visionnaires" has the same context because it has the same mater...

[0129] Source 1 (s1) - Structural Context = Title Text: 'Print the document'.

[0130] Target 1 (t1) - Structural Context = Title Text: 'Das Dokument ausdrucken'.

[0131] In this case, in the title structural context (the title structural context is the same in the translation unit for both the source segment and the target segment), in this translation, the German translation uses an infinitive (infinitive).

[0132] Now, consider the following second instance later in the same document involving a level of structural context, using the same English sentence, but this time in an instruction list, thus requiring a determinant in German:

[0133] Source 2 (s2) - Structural Context = List of Instructions: 'Print the document'.

[0134] Target 2 (t2): - Structural Context = List of Instructions: 'Drucken Sie das Dokument aus'.

[0135] If, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the example sentences above were stored in a translation memory or other such data sto...

Abstract

A system, a method and computer software adapted to perform the method are disclosed for determining a matching level of a text lookup segment with a plurality of source texts in a translation memory in terms of context. In particular, the invention determines any exact matches for the lookup segment in the plurality of source texts, and determines, in the case that at least one exact match is determined, that a respective exact match is an in-context exact (ICE) match for the lookup segment in the case that a context of the lookup segment matches that of the respective exact match. The degree of context matching required can be predetermined, and results prioritized. The invention also includes methods, systems and program products for storing a translation pair of source text and target text in a translation memory including context, and the translation memory so formed. The invention ensures that content is translated the same as previously translated content and reduces translator intervention.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to content processing, and more particularly to ensuring accurate translation matches with source content including context to simplify and facilitate translation and other processing functions related to said content. Background technique [0002] As information has become more readily available globally, especially with the advent and rapid utilization of the Internet and the World Wide Web, the role of translation has changed from simply converting a source text into a target language. Today, translators must ensure timely and accurate distribution of translated content to intended locations and consumers. As such, the increased demand for content translation has prompted many companies to develop tools that automate and to some extent facilitate the translation process. Given that translators need to translate content as quickly as possible, greater flexibility in software functionality and the ability to st...
