Perl Scripting in Translation Project Management
Grzegorz Chrupała · Across Languages and Cultures · 2003
The field of translation in general and of technical translation in particular has become increasingly dependent on the use of various electronic tools. Computer assisted translation uses specialized applications that partly automate the production of multilingual software and documentation. However, for some needs these applications are not flexible enough. In these situations programming becomes indispensable. Scripting programming languages such as Perl provide a perfect platform for rapid solution of specific, short-term problems in a fully customizable way.
