Read the first 6 CAT Tools and Translation Technology flashcards as text
What does 'MT engine training' involve in the context of custom machine translation?
Answer: Fine-tuning an MT system on domain-specific parallel data to improve output quality for specialized content
Custom MT engine training uses domain-specific parallel corpora to adapt a general MT system to a client's terminology and style.
What is an 'API integration' in translation technology?
Answer: Connecting a content platform or CMS to a TMS or MT engine to automate content submission and retrieval
API integrations connect content systems directly to translation tools, automating file transfer and enabling continuous localization workflows.
What does 'SDL MultiTerm' (now 'Trados MultiTerm') manage in localization projects?
Answer: Multilingual terminology—storing approved source and target terms for consistent use across projects
MultiTerm is a termbase management tool that stores and distributes multilingual terminology, integrated with Trados Studio for in-translation term lookup.
What is 'content connectors' functionality in a TMS?
Answer: Pre-built integrations that link content repositories like CMSs, code repositories, or marketing platforms to the TMS
Content connectors allow TMS platforms to pull content directly from source systems and push translated content back, enabling automated localization pipelines.
What is 'adaptive machine translation'?
Answer: An MT system that learns from a translator's post-editing corrections in real time to improve subsequent suggestions
Adaptive MT updates its model in real time based on post-editor corrections, improving consistency and accuracy within the same session.
What advantage does cloud-based TMS offer over on-premise CAT tools for large localization teams?
Answer: Cloud TMS enables real-time collaboration, centralized TM and termbase access, and easier vendor management at scale
Cloud-based TMS platforms allow distributed teams to collaborate in real time, share resources centrally, and scale without infrastructure investments.
