Abstract
A system for automating the quality evaluation of a translation. The system may include a computer having a processor and memory device operably connected to one another. A source text in a first language may be stored within the memory device. A target text comprising a translation of the source text into a second language may also be stored within the memory device. Additionally, a plurality of executables may be stored on the memory device and be configured to, when executed by the processor, independently identify a test sample comprising one or more blocks, each comprising a matched set having a source portion selected from the source text and a corresponding target portion selected from the target text.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a computer comprising a processor and memory device operably connected to one another;
- a source text stored within the memory device and corresponding to a first language;
- a target text stored within the memory device and comprising a translation of the source text in a second language, distinct from the first language;
- and
- a plurality of executables stored on the memory device and configured to, when executed by the processor, independently identify a test sample comprising one or more blocks, each block comprising a matched set having a source portion selected from the source text and a corresponding target portion selected from the target text.
A system comprising:
- a first computer comprising a first processor and first memory device operably connected to one another;
- a second computer comprising a second processor and second memory device operably connected to one another;
- a first plurality of executables stored on the first memory device and configured to assist a human translator in translating a source text corresponding to a first language into a target text corresponding to a second language, distinct from the first language;
- and
- a second plurality of executables stored on the second memory device and configured to independently identify a test sample comprising one or more blocks, each comprising a matched set having a source portion selected from the source text and a corresponding target portion selected from the target text.
A method comprising:
- selecting a computer comprising a processor and memory device operably connected to one another, the memory device comprising selected executables;
- storing within the memory device a pairing comprising a source text corresponding to a first language and a target text comprising a translation of the source text into a second language, distinct from the first language;
- and
- executing the selected executables on the processor to independently identify a test sample from one of the source text and the target text, the test sample comprising one or more blocks, each comprising a matched set having a source portion selected from the source text and a corresponding target portion selected from the target text.
