An interface unit issues input/output instructions regarding an input of a translation target sentence, an output of a translated sentence, and a translation control. A machine translating apparatus translates a document in a certain language into a document in another language. A translation memory device translates a sentence by searching an original/translation database in which sentences in a certain language and original/translation sentences in another language corresponding thereto have been accumulated. A data compatible processing unit makes original/translation information translated by the machine translating apparatus and original/translation information translated by the translation memory device common, thereby enabling them to be fetched mutually as original/translation information.

A translation method comprises: retrieving a fuzzy match text segment translation pair from a translation memory (TM) for an input source language text segment, the fuzzy match text segment translation pair comprising a fuzzy source language text segment having a fuzzy match to the input source language text segment and a corresponding translated target language text segment; extracting from the fuzzy match text segment translation pair an exact match phrase pair comprising a source language phrase that exactly matches a phrase of the input source language text segment and a corresponding translated target language phrase; and invoking a statistical machine translation (SMT) system to generate a proposed translation of the input source language text segment based on a statistical translation model that is enriched by the exact match phrase pair with the exact match phrase pair assigned a high statistical probability.

In a translation apparatus, a translation memory (32) stores (i) source language target language translation unit pairs and (ii) structural information for at least some source language translation units indicating a structural position within a document from which the source language translation unit was derived. A comparator (30) compares a new source language translation unit with source language translation units stored in the translation memory. Each comparison includes (i) a textual comparison and (ii) a structural comparison between an identified structural position within a source language document (10) from which the new source language translation unit was derived and the structural information for the source language translation unit stored in the translation memory.

System and method for tracking and processing of text translations for online use. Translation tasks are submitted along with language and schedule information for translation of primary language text into other languages for use on other language versions of the primary language site or emails. In performing translations, the translator first selects a task group and then translates the individual tasks in the group. A translation memory retains previously translated text and associated translations. When each individual translation task is selected for translation, the translation memory is searched and previously translated identical or similar text and translations are made available for displaying to and use by the translator.

Systems and methods for efficient online domain adaptation are provided herein. Methods may include receiving a post-edited machine translated sentence pair, updating a machine translation model by adjusting translation weights for a translation memory and a language model while generating test machine translations of the machine translated sentence pair until one of the test machine translations approximately matches the post-edits for the machine translated sentence pair, and retranslating the remaining machine translation sentence pairs that have yet to be post-edited using the updated machine translation model.

A method for local, computer-aided translation using remotely-generated translation predictions includes the step of determining that a translation stored in a remote translation memory is useful in translating a first portion of a local document. A local machine receives the translation. Prior to receiving a request form a translator for the translation, a determination is made that the remote translation memory stores an updated version of the translation. The updated version of the translation is identified as useful in translating a second portion of the document. The local machine generates a translation of the second portion of the document through reuse of the updated version of the translation, responsive to the identification of the utility of the updated version of the translation in translating the second portion of the document.

A new, more efficient memory translation algorithm facilitating the acquisition of a most appropriate translation in a target language from among those of nearly narrowed-down candidates of translation by separately applying the so-called dimension reducing functions of a template automaton and the LSI (latent semantic index) technique. Both the template automaton and the LSI principle play an important role in implementing an efficient process of narrowing down an efficient solution space from among the many example sentences of the databases in a target language by exploiting their respective unique search space reduction function. Once developed into a fully operational system, an expert editor rather than an expert translator can tune up the translation memory system, markedly widening the range of available experts who can utilize the system.

A translation memory system enabling the user to not only narrow down the view range of search result, but also view a surrounding context of a retrieved text. Stored parallel texts include sentence-class and segment-class parallel texts. Parallel texts relevant to a given input text are retrieved and subjected to calculation of match rates with respect to the input text. A downward link is then added to each retrieved sentence-class parallel text, while an upward link is added to each retrieved segment-class parallel text. A search result screen shows a best matching parallel text with an expand button and/or a shrink button. The expand button causes the current parallel text to be replaced with an upper-class parallel text pointed at by a corresponding upward link. The shrink button causes the current parallel text to be replaced with a lower-class parallel text pointed at by a corresponding downward link.

A method for local, computer-aided translation using remotely-generated translation predictions includes the step of receiving, by a remote translation memory, at least one portion of a document in a source language for translation into a target language. The remote translation memory determines, prior to receiving a request from a translator for a translation of a second portion of the document, that a translation of the at least one portion is useful in translating the second portion, or in translating a portion of a second document. A local machine receives the translation of the first portion and an identification of the utility of the translation. A translation agent on the local machine generates a translation through reuse of the translation of the first portion of the document, responsive to the received identification of the utility of the translation of the first portion of the document.
