Abstract
A system and method of improving a translation system are disclosed, in which the method may include presenting initial text in a source language and a corresponding translation text sequence in a target language, to a user on a computing device; prompting the user to propose alternative text for at least a portion of the translation text sequence; receiving proposed alternative translation text from the user; assigning a rating, by the user, to the proposed alternative translation text; and storing the received proposed translation text in a database.
Claims10
A method of improving a translation system, the method comprising the steps of:
- presenting initial text in a source language and a corresponding translation text sequence in a target language, to a user on a computing device;
- prompting the user to propose alternative text for at least a portion of the translation text sequence;
- receiving proposed alternative translation text from the user;
- assigning a rating, by the user, to the proposed alternative translation text;
- and
- storing the received proposed translation text in a database.
A method for ranking a user of a translation system implemented on a computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an initial ranking to a user of the translation system;
- assigning a rating, by the user, to a translation of text from a source language to a target language;
- and
- incrementing, with a processor within said computer system, the initial ranking if the rating of the translation assigned by the user agrees with a consensus of prior ratings accorded to the translation.
