SDL Translation Technology Insights Jun 20, 2016
Conference recap As a Trados/SDL user since 2005 and a faithful attendee of SDL Roadshows, I did not expect to find many new ideas during this conference. I was very pleasantly surprised, I put away any little things I was thinking of doing when glancing at my laptop, and gave the presenters my undivided attention. They did speak about the future of this industry and, reluctantly or enthusiastically, we have to live with it and adapt to the new reality. Thanks and congratulations.

But it doesn’t check source consistency 16:54 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Déjà Vu can check whether the translation includes the appropriate translations for specific terms in the source. 16:54 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All But there is no way it can check that the source is correct. Only a human can do that. 16:55 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Can you be more specific about the kinds of errors you think it could spot in the source? What kind of inconsistencies? 16:56 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All consistency in general 16:57 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All I'm afraid that is a task that can only be accomplished by a human. There is no way we can tell if the source text is using the right words or not. 16:57 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Even modern grammar checkers, such as the one in Word, can barely tell if a sentence is grammatically correct. 16:58 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Determining whether terminology or certain grammatical structures are used consistently is currently beyond the reach of computers, I'm afraid. 16:58 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Unless we're misunderstanding what you're asking. 17:06 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Hi, we are approaching the end of this day. 17:07 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All We'll be closing the chat in a few minutes, if you have a last message to send do not hesitate! 17:08 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Also, we are always available to answer you on [email protected] 17:12 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Thanks to all the participants, visitors and organizers of the event!
