Quality is when the buyer or customer is satisfied. Yet quality measurement in the translation industry is not always linked to customer satisfaction, but rather is managed by quality gatekeepers on the supply and demand side who have specific evaluation models, the majority of which are based on counting errors, applying penalties and maintaining thresholds with little, if any, interaction from customers.
The final session of the recent TAUS Executive Forum in Barcelona focused on innovative solutions using communities or data driven approaches.
Collaborative translation is a promising, new paradigm to leverage the power of community to translate and maintain dynamic content.
This complimentary report is relevant for anybody interested in customized machine translation, especially open source solutions. It summarizes the results of survey research undertaken by TAUS in partnership with EuroMatrixPlus, the European academic consortium responsible for developing and maintaining the Moses toolkit, in Q1 2011. The survey asked respondents to inform of their progress and experiences with Moses, and in particular to highlight the challenges they have encountered, as well as to suggest solutions.
The report also outlines our recommendations on findings. These serve as a foundation for future Moses development activity and collaborative industry initiatives.
At TAUS we're forward-thinking. Which means we try to know our history. So explore with us the story of translation automation in the digital age. See timeline
