On-The-Fly Translator Assistant (Readability and Terminology Handling)
Svetlana O. Sheremetyeva · 2014
This paper describes a new methodology for developing CAT tools that assist translators of technical and scientific texts by (i) on-the-fly highlight of nominal and verbal terminology in a source language (SL) document that lifts possible syntactic ambiguity and thus essentially raises the document readability and (ii) simultaneous translation of all SL document one-and multicomponent lexical units.The methodology is based on a language-independent hybrid extraction technique used for document analysis, and language-dependent shallow linguistic knowledge.It is targeted at intelligent output and computationally attractive properties.The approach is illustrated by its implementation into a CAT tool for the Russian-English language pair.Such tools can also be integrated into full MT systems.
