Debabelizing Libraries

SMITH, David A.. Debabelizing Libraries: Machine Translation by and for Digital Collections. D-Lib Magazine, Mars 2006, Volume 12, Number 3. Available at <http://www.dlib.org/dlib/march06/smith/03smith.html>

Extract:

"(...) Current MT researchers are mostly interested in high precision in chunk and word alignments. They will throw out quite a bit of promising data to ensure that their translation models have the highest accuracy. A digital library application might be more interested in recall. If a translation of some text is already in the library, it is better to spend a little effort finding it than to use the most advanced MT system. Ideally, automatic translation-finding techniques can act as a filter for richer metadata creation. (...)"

Gaumont Selects SYSTRAN to Translate its French Online Newsreel Catalogue for the Global Marketplace

JOSCELYNE, Andrew. Gaumont Selects SYSTRAN to Translate its French Online Newsreel Catalogue for the Global Marketplace. Octobre 2002. Available at <www.systrancorp.org/DocDownload/CaseStudies/2002.10.Gaumont.pdf>

Extract:

"(...) The Cinématique Gaumont is a French film library offering the largest range of French language newsreel and other film holdings of its kind. Information about the archive is accessible via the Internet, offering film researchers an unparalleled database for searching cultural and historical material on celluloid, viewing excerpts and then ordering them. To render this facility as universally accessible as possible to researchers like Stuart McKay, Gaumont contracted SYSTRAN to provide an ondemand translation solution that would enable researchers to retrieve the database and read its film descriptions in English. Gaumont has been able to substantially grow its market for newsreel film archive users by combining the ease of access afforded by an online database with the communicative effectiveness of SYSTRAN’s Machine Translation technology.(...)"

Systran and the reinvention of MT

FLANAGAN, Mary; MCCLURE, Steve. Systran and the reinvention of MT. IDC, 2002. Available at <http://www.systransoft.com/DocDownload/IndustryReports/2002.01.SYSTRAN.And.The.Reinvention.Of.MT.pdf>

Extract:

"(...) With its newly architected system, its persuasive hold on the multilingual Web-browsing market, and its successful incursions into the customer service area, SYSTRAN is poised to achieve a level of success that has not yet been realized by any other MT company and perhaps to redefine the field of uses for automatic translation solutions. SYSTRAN will need to move cautiously, given MT’s history, and avoid the obvious pitfalls of unrealistic expectations and inappropriate applications for the technology. Having demonstrated the ability to navigate these challenges successfully thus far, there is every reason to expect SYSTRAN will succeed. (...)"

Should I use machine translation?

KELBY, Alan. Should I use machine translation? [on line] 2001. Available at <http://www.ttt.org/theory/mt4me/index.html>

Extract:
"(...) People who need documents translated often ask themselves whether they could use a computer to do the job.
When a computer translates an entire document automatically and then presents it to a human, the process is called machine translation. When a human composes a translation, perhaps calling on a computer for assistance in specific tasks such as looking up specialized words and expressions in a dictionary, the process is called human translation (...)"
