Introducing the Autshumato Integrated Translation Environment
Hendrik J. Groenewald, Wildrich Fourie · 2009
Translation is an indispensable process for socioeconomic and cultural development in a multilingual society. The use of translation tools such as translation memories and machine translation systems can be beneficial in supporting the human translator. Unfortunately, the availability of these tools is limited for resource-scarce languages. In this paper, we introduce the Autshumato Integrated Translation Environment that facilitates a comprehensive set of translation tools, including machine translation and translation memory. The Autshumato Integrated Translation Environment is specifically developed for translation between the official South African languages, but it is in essence language-independent and can therefore be used to translate between any language pair. 1
