Systems and methods for automatically estimating a translation time including preparation time in addition to the translation itself

摘要

A method for automatically estimating a translation time comprises receiving translation data, determining one or more translation parameters based on the translation data, retrieving one or more pre-determined translation coefficients associated with the one or more translation parameters, calculating an estimated translation time based on the one more or more translation parameters and the one or more pre-determined translation coefficients, and a base time to prepare the translation in addition to the translation itself. The method may further comprise reporting the estimated translation time to a user, receiving, from the user, a request to perform a translation associated with the translation data, performing the translation, recording an actual translation time, comparing the actual translation time to the estimated translation time, and based on the comparison, revising the one or more pre-determined translation coefficients to improve the estimating of the translation time.
