Computer-Aided Translation Backed by Machine Translation

摘要

A number of tools to support translators (computer-aided translation, CAT) exist, as there are many systems of machine translation (MT). So far, the integration of the two system types was little or none. The aim of this paper is to examine a tighter coupling of MT and CAT. We introduce our web-based CAT tool implemented using the modern AJAX technology that communicates with Moses MT system on the server side to provide the translator with suggested translations of individual phrases of the source sentence as well as several options of the complete continuation of the output sentence. The suggested continuation is based on what has been already translated and what the user has already written as the output. Hopefully, the proposed user interface and the MT system at the back end will accelerate and simplify the process of translation.
