Description

SYSTEM TO SUPPORT TRANSLATION SERVICES

FIELD OF ENGINEERING

With the growth of globalization processes, the multilingual document circulation is also growing, which is an integral part of business, social, cultural and scientific fields. The need for fast and quality translation in more and more languages places high demands on all translation companies.

PRIOR ART

In an age where businesses can take advantage of the global marketplace using a global computer network (Internet), it is important for such businesses to be able to easily search for business in multiple languages. Because of this, many businesses wish to have their web pages translated into multiple languages so that they can seek business in many different markets. Therefore, a system that can upload a web page and duplicate it in multiple languages is highly desirable. Also, using so many languages is highly desirable. Also, since much of the language on any web page is similar to that of other web pages, it is further desirable to use the translations of previously translated web pages to aid in the translation of other web pages. pages. Thus, the present invention reduces the burden on translators, whether it is translating web pages or other documents.

Furthermore, it would be advantageous if a system could be created that did not rely on a translation memory containing pairs of sentences in both the source and target languages. It would also be beneficial to have a translation system that minimizes the reliance on a human translator to correct the translation generated by machine translation. it is desirable to further reduce the burden on translators by implementing a system by which a machine-generated translation, in the target language, of a source sentence is compared to a database of human-generated target sentences. Thus, if a human-generated sentence is found, the human-generated sentence can be used instead of the machine-generated sentence because the human-generated target sentence is more likely to be a well-formed sentence than the machine-generated sentence.

Sample machine translation is a more language-independent approach than machine translation. Sample machine translation works on units of data smaller than the sentences used in machine translation. An example machine translation uses a bilingual corpus to align not only sentences but also phrases or even words from the source language to the target language. If the target sentence matching the source sentence is not found, the target sentence can be constructed from phrases that have already been translated into different sentences stored in the translation memory. While well-defined domain example machine translation can extract correct terms and phrases, it has a problem generating well-formed sentences.

A method and system for supporting translation services is disclosed in US patent application 20090204385. The system contains multiple clients that access the translation server network via the global computer network (Internet). It is connected to the translation server. It houses a localization block connected via file storage to the web server, a multilingual translation data storage block. Offline translators or online translators connected via an intranet network. Users using a web browser access the web server through the global computer network. The e-service translation portal is connected to the users who have the ability to set translation texts and store them in the data memory to create the customer's translation texts to be translated, also providing reports to the administrator and the text to shaping translations . As the number of customers increases, additional servers are brought online. The client's documents to be translated are stored in the file block memory. Documents stored in the file block repository are subsequently processed by the localization block, where the documents are identified as a file type, i.e. HTML, GIF, any with multiple file types word processor, text or spreadsheet. The file is then split into translatable and untranslatable sentences and stored in the translation data memory. Once the translated sentences of the file are identified, they are compared with previously translated sentences to find similar sentences that have already been translated. If one of them matches more than one previously translated sentence, the client's sentence to be translated at that moment will be matched against the previous translation that has the highest frequency of use, either from the most recent or user-specified single or multiple previous versions of the translation. The partially translated document is also stored in the translation database. The translation of the partially translated document is then completed by an online translator or an offline translator, in accordance with the workflow established for the specific client. The formatting of the text for translations may indicate a specific translator that the client has engaged. The translator sets a unit price for his work. This device can be based on the number of words to be translated, the number of hours, etc. The client selects a provider based on a number of criteria, including but not limited to resumes, references, customer ratings, volume, location, expertise, and the like, which information is transmitted to the client by the server. Clients submit the text for translations over the Internet on the network on the translation server, where it and the data memory are used to provide measurement of the translation text. The size of the text for translations is automatically calculated and broken down by a certain number of units. Then, based on the number of units and the translator's price per unit, a quote is provided to the client through the server, which may also include a schedule and additional costs. Alternatively, the text for translations can be put up for bidding when the client submits their project to a select list of translators from whom bids are received.

After the client receives and approves a quote, the client submits a contract to the translator to perform the work. The selected translator then executes the contract electronically to accept the text for translation. The fact that the translator receives the translation text from the translation server network, partially translated, reduces the cost of translation services. The client, using its connection to the translation server network 8 via the Internet, can track the progress of the translation text, perform interim reviews, provide interim approvals and, through the use of log files, access an audit trail.

Characteristic of the known method and system is that the information about the translations comes from own translations which are stored in the respective memories and they are used for new translations. In addition, the client can be informed about the status of the assigned translation, which slows down the translation transmission process.

TECHNICAL ESSENCE OF THE INVENTION

The invention aims to create a system to support translation services, which has an expanded area, increased speed and use of the latest publications on the translated topic, and the client is notified immediately when the translation is completed.

The translation support system contains web browsers through which multiple clients are connected via the global computer network (Internet) to a network server for translations. It houses a web server, to which a call center is simultaneously connected through a first memory block to a localization block, through a second database memory, a second server, a layout block, and to the localization block. It is connected through multilingual memory, through a translation block to the formatting block

The translation service support system differs from the known ones in that a global computer network (Internet) search unit is connected to a multilingual memory unit and to a web server to which a smart key fob is remotely connected.

To speed up information about the current state of the translation, a smart key fob contains a microcontroller, the first input of which is connected to a serial switching block, a microcontroller. The second input, on the microcontroller is connected button. A GSM module is connected via a two-way connection. A charge controller and a battery are connected to the third input of the microcontroller. A charge controller and a battery are connected to the first output of the microcontroller.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

The translation agency 6 may appoint several independent contractors who work in the agency on a translation basis. Translation Agency 6 can also employ a number of salary translators, including hourly and salaried employees. The administrator of such a translation agency 6 may also have multiple different clients 2, 2.1 that have very small text files and various large text files that need translation into another language. To effectively match a translator with a client text file and translate the largest possible volume of client texts, the translation support system is applied to manage the translation workflow.

Fig. 1 depicts a block diagram of one embodiment of the translation support system for managing the translation workflow of an agency for a workflow between an administrator, multiple clients, and a machine translator. With brand new client 2, he connects via browser 1, internet 3, network server 4 to administrator 6. He contracts with client 2 for transfers by clicking on the terms of an agreement to which there are non-disclosure and confidentiality terms. The administrator 6 uploads the client text file and client profile 2 to the client web server 5, which is in communication with the second server 10, the location block 8, the multilingual memory block 12 to the machine translator 11. When a customer uploads a new document to the website, the administrator 6 selects it by checking the corresponding box and then clicks a button "submit to translator" to send the job to a translator, thereby accepting the job and notifying the customer 2. A customer can upload up to five text files, also known as documents, simultaneously. Documents submitted by the customer are displayed on the Submitted Jobs screen. Likewise, completed tasks are displayed when clicking on the Submitted Tasks button. At any time, the administrator 6 can change an administrative message that looks the same for all clients alike. After the translation is ready, the translation block 13 sends it to the formatting block 11 and from there to the second server 10. The administrator 6 receives a message about the translation being ready, size and generate an invoice for the specific job or tasks performed, specifying the client's name, translation order number, name of documents being billed, number of words for each, and total cost. All of this is done automatically, eliminating the need for manual data entry to generate invoices for completed tasks. After the payment of the invoice by the customer 2, the transfer is sent simultaneously to the customer 2, in the first memory block 7 and the multilingual memory block 12. When the client 2.1 repeatedly uses the agency 6 for translations She provides a smart key fob 15 and registers it under a code number for example XCN or another similar. This client 2.1 can submit the materials to the localization unit 8 by itself It has the possibility to monitor the translation process and upon completion of translation material with code number XCN, the network translation server 4 sends a signal to the smart key fob 15 and the indicator light 21 lights up green. The customer 2.1 can download the translation material and when he receives the invoice, pay it. The translation materials are stored in the first memory block 7 for up to three months, during which time the client 2 can use the translation materials whenever he wants. They are then archived. Some of them are used by the machine translator 13 for new translations. When the client sends a signal 2.1 to check the status of the translation, and if it is not ready on the smart key fob 15, the light indicator 21 lights up in red. The translation service support system provides to its customers the best possible quality, in the shortest period of time, at the lowest possible price, at any time, quality translations. The translation support system provides management of the translation workflow that can be fully automated or semi-automated through electronic or other means. The degree of automated implementation is a function of the needs of the translation agency 6 and is in no way limited by the disclosed implementation.
