Dialogue translation vs. text translation-interpretation based approach
Jun’ichi Tsujii, Makoto Nagao · 1988
The authors discuss the differences of environments where dialogue translation and textual translation systems might be used. The differences are summarized as clear definition of information and active participations of speakers and hearers in dialogue translation. A new approach to MT, interpretation based approach, is proposed to take the advantages of dialogue translation environments. The approach introduces a layer of understanding to MT and can produce less structure bound translations than conventional approaches.
