Methods and systems for local, computer-aided translation using remotely-generated translation predictions

A system for local, computer-aided translation using remotely-generated translation predictions comprising:

• a remote translation memory comprising:
• a first receiver receiving at least a first portion of a document in a source language for translation into a target language,
• a remote translation engine determining, prior to receiving a request from a translator for a translation of a second portion of the document, that a translation of at least the first portion of the document is useful in translating the second portion of the document, and
• a transmitter for transmitting the translation of at least the first portion of the document and an identification of the utility of the translation of at least the first portion of the document to the translation of the second portion of the document;
• and
• a local machine comprising:
• a second receiver receiving the translation of at least the first portion of the document and the identification of the utility of the translation of at least the first portion of the document to the translation of the second portion of the document;
• and
• a translation agent generating a translation of the second portion of the document through reuse of the translation of at least the first portion of the document, responsive to the received identification of the utility of the translation of at least the first portion of the document to the second portion of the document.

A method for local, computer-aided translation using remotely-generated translation predictions, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) receiving, by a remote translation memory, at least one portion of a first document in a source language for translation into a target language;
• (b) determining, by the remote translation memory, prior to receiving a request from a translator for a translation of the at least one portion of the first document, that a translation of at least one portion of a second document into the target language is useful in translating the at least one portion of the first document;
• (c) receiving, by a local machine, an identification of the utility of the translation of the at least one portion of the second document to the translation of the at least one portion of the first document;
• and
• (d) generating, by the local machine, a translation of the at least one portion of the first document through reuse of the translation of the at least one portion of the second document, responsive to the received identification of the utility of the translation of the at least one portion of the second document to the translation of the at least one portion of the first document.
