  What is a TMS? When a business needs to translate a high volume of assets to many different languages and regional dialects, the project becomes complex very quickly. Translation management systems help organize assets and provide collaboration tools for all parties. Beyond just issuing simple translations for text, translation management software includes features to maintain brand vision and identity by making sure content is contextualized. Much of the translation that’s performed with translation management software is done so automatically, and then reviewed and revised by native speakers. For small, occasional projects using emails and Excel sheets probably will do the job. But when the scale of your project outgrows the spreadsheet method, it’s time to consider a software. The TMS marketplace is huge. It's not easy to decide which system we should choose. Let's consider our needs first: And break it down into steps: Side by Side Comparison: Smartcat vs. WordBee Smartca

This month-long pilot project aimed to train Microsoft Translators' NMT engine and to develop a Neural Machine Translation model to translate the editorial and media press releases of MOSTRA in 2021 from English to Brazilian Portuguese. The project validated the MT engine for the above-mentioned purpose. My team and I prepared a Statement of Work for our client with the following details: Objectives, including goals related to quality, efficiency, and costs; Project timeline; Processes and Workflows; Details Costs Table; Deliverables. By the end of the month, we were able to give a clear, data-backed up solution to our client on whether it's worth investing in the training or hire human translators instead of the machine and we also created a Lesson Learned Video Presentation about the process. Scroll down to see the proposed timeline of the project, download the sample files, and/or watch the video presentation. PROJECT TIMELINE March 1 - March 28 March 1st KICKOFF MEETING The

  What is RegEx? Regex or Regular Expressions is not a programming language but more pattern identification. Its main purpose is quality check in translated or other texts and documents. According to Riccardo Schiaffino, RegEx "is a search-and-replace function on steroids. Regular expressions can assist our translation work by allowing us to search, replace, and filter text in ways that would otherwise be impossible in our software tools." ( https://www.ata-chronicle.online/highlights/regular-expressions-an-introduction-for-translators/ If you are a linguist or have some affinity for languages, you will pick up regex quickly, after some trials and errors.:) For us, translators, regex is important because CAT tools use regular expressions for creating segmentation and auto-translation rules. See below my first attempts to create some basic rules that can be used for Hungarian translations. RegEx for English to Hungarian Translations Example 1: Hungarian (or other names) with m
