Evaluating Translation Tools
C. K. Quah · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 2006
In the previous chapter, we looked at some of the technical and operational aspects of various translation tools. This chapter is devoted to the evaluation of both machine translation systems and computeraided translation tools. In other words, how well do they work? Attention will be given to the different groups of stakeholders involved in the development of machine translation systems from researchers to end-users, as well as to different translation evaluation methods. Finally, sets of general guidelines or procedures designed by research groups and government agencies as the basis for planning more detailed, customized evaluations are considered. These are known as ‘evaluation frameworks’ These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
