Abstract
A system that detects incorrectly translated text in a document. During operation, the system determines a target language for the document. The system then identifies one or more terms in the document that are invalid terms for the language. Next, the system analyzes correlations between these invalid terms, and, based on these correlations, determines whether one or more of the invalid terms comprise incorrectly translated text.
Claims20
A method for detecting incorrectly translated text in a translated document, comprising:
- identifying a target language for the translated document;
- identifying a set of one or more terms in the translated document that are invalid terms in the target language;
- analyzing, as performed by a processor, the set of invalid terms to determine a distribution of invalid terms in the translated document;
- and
- determining from the distribution of invalid terms whether one or more of the invalid terms comprise incorrectly translated text.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for detecting incorrectly translated text in a translated document, the method comprising:
- identifying a target language for the translated document;
- identifying a set of one or more terms in the translated document that are invalid terms in the target language;
- analyzing, as performed by the computer, the set of invalid terms to determine a distribution of invalid terms in the translated document;
- and
- determining from the distribution of invalid terms whether one or more of the invalid terms comprise incorrectly translated text.
A computing apparatus that detects incorrectly translated text in a translated document, comprising:
- a processor and a memory;
- a determining mechanism configured to identify a target language for the translated document;
- an identification mechanism configured to identify a set of one or more terms in the translated document that are invalid terms in the target language;
- and
- an analysis mechanism configured to analyze the set of invalid terms to determine a distribution of invalid terms in the translated document;
- wherein the determining mechanism is further configured to determine from the distribution of invalid terms whether one or more of the invalid terms comprise incorrectly translated text.
