Produkt-Orientierte Übersetzung: Weg Von Der Insel, Uwe Muegge
Produkt-Orientierte Übersetzung: Weg Von Der Insel, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Um maximale Produktivität und hohe Qualität, d.h. minimale Nacharbeit nach der eigentlichen Übersetzungsphase, zu erreichen, müssen alle Übersetzenden mit Translation- Memory-Systemen arbeiten – selbst wenn es nur um die Übersetzung einzelner Sätze geht. Nur wenn alle Übersetzenden und Revisoren durchgängig mit Translation- Memory-Systemen arbeiten, ist sichergestellt, dass bereits übersetzte und genehmigte Inhalte geschützt sind und dass die stilistische Konsistenz auch innerhalb der größten Projekte gewährleistet ist. Wenn es neben der Verwendung von Translation-Memory-Systemen noch einen Faktor gibt, der für den Erfolg produktorientierter Übersetzungsprojekte entscheidend ist, dann ist es die Verfügbarkeit von umfassenden mehrsprachigen Terminologiedatenbanken zu Beginn derartiger Projekte. Dabei ist …
Product-Centric Translation: What It Is And How Best To Handle It, Uwe Muegge
Product-Centric Translation: What It Is And How Best To Handle It, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Unlike with “general” technical translations, where the text stands on its own, in product-centric translation projects there is a direct link between the source text and a product or service.

How Linkedin Helped Me Land A Vp Position When I Wasn't Even Looking, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Finding a new job can be very time-consuming – or not, especially when you let the new job find you! I recently accepted the position of Vice President of Strategic Technology Solutions at OmniLingua, a translation and localization services company. At the time I received the the company owner's InMail, I was not even looking for a new job! Unbeknownst to me, the hiring process had started after my future employer visited my LinkedIn profile page.

Teaching Translation Technology In The 21st Century, Uwe Muegge
Teaching Translation Technology In The 21st Century, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
The author's definition of 'technical translation' is pragmatic: Technical translation differs from literary translation in that in a technical translation project, all texts are linked with a product. The product-centric nature of technical translation projects requires that technical translation projects are processed in a translation memory system to ensure terminological and stylistic consistency, among other things.

Termwiki Pro: A Terminology Management System Designed From The Ground Up For Web-Enabled Collaboration, Uwe Muegge
Termwiki Pro: A Terminology Management System Designed From The Ground Up For Web-Enabled Collaboration, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
A TaaS-based terminology management system, such as CSOFT’s TermWiki Pro, stores terminology information in a central location in the cloud, allowing all content stakeholders such as editors, validators, translators, and reviewers to access the same set of data. Any changes made to a term are immediately available for others to use in their own projects. Managing terms from inception to validation to translation and beyond typically involves many contributors – including terminology stakeholders on the client side. Just sending notifications to terminology stakeholders and keeping them all on the same page can take up a lot of project management time. …

Teaching Localization: 6 Practices That Make A Difference (Part Ii), Uwe Muegge
Teaching Localization: 6 Practices That Make A Difference (Part Ii), Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Translation memory (TM) systems have become commonplace in today’s translation courses – sometimes for the wrong reasons. If students are told that the only reason for using a translation memory is to leverage previous translations, these students will not use a TM system for non-repetitive texts. That teaching approach might also be frustrating for students who start with an empty translation memory, as these students may not get any immediate benefit from using TM technology. If, however, students are introduced to the translation memory as a quality assurance tool, the return on investment is instant.

The Great Leap Forward That Never Was, Uwe Muegge
The Great Leap Forward That Never Was, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Ten years ago, machine translation (MT) was very much a niche technology for translation professionals. MT tools were expensive, supported only a small number of language pairs, and did not play nice with many standard translation tools. Today, MT is available either for free or at very low cost, in thousands of language combinations, and many translation memory systems offer integrated MT functionality. In other words, MT has evolved by leaps and bounds. As the number of translation professionals who post-edit raw MT has increased dramatically over the past 10 years, the big question is whether developments in post-editing have …

Implementing A Controlled Language Is Now Cheaper And Easier Than Ever, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
The controlled language (CL) model is not new: Caterpillar Fundamental English was rolled-out in 1972, and many other enterprise- and a few industry-level controlled languages followed since then. What is new is the fact that now complete commercial rule sets and powerful CL tools are available for free, making controlled language authoring attractive for even the smallest organizations.

New web-based statistical machine translation services are currently revolutionizing the market. These SaaS solutions allow users to customize an MT engine with their own translation memories. As most of these services follow the subscription model, launching a DIY MT project costs only a fraction of deploying a traditional machine translation tool, which makes this powerful technology affordable for even the smallest organization.

Ten Good Reasons For Using A Translation Memory, Uwe Muegge
Ten Good Reasons For Using A Translation Memory, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
More than 20 years after the first commercial translation memory products became available, surveys indicate that while the vast majority of those surveyed do use a translation memory system, less than 30 percent of translators use this type of tool for every translation project or on a daily basis. Studies of translation memory usage among even the most technically advanced users show that the benefits of using a translation memory - beyond reusing existing translation - are still not well understood.

Dispelling The Myths Of Machine Translation, Uwe Muegge
Dispelling The Myths Of Machine Translation, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
It is not surprising that myths, half-truths, and misunderstandings abound regarding machine translation: It seems as if the experience most players in the translation field have with this technology does not go beyond toying a little with one of the free online translation tools. Almost every week, I come across an article informing its readers either that machine translation is and always will be a complete waste of time or that machine translation, while being a waste of time today, might actually be useful some time in the distant future. In the hope of setting the record straight, here is …

Für die Übersetzung der großen Datenbestände der Medtronic Produktda-tenbank sind die beiden bestehenden Workflows ungeeignet. Der automatisierte Workflow für die technische Dokumentation ist für die Wiederverwendung bestehender Übersetzungen in Translation-Memory-Systemen optimiert. Da bei der Erstübersetzung der Produktdatenbank nicht auf Bestände in einem Translation Memory zurückgegriffen werden kann, wäre das dadurch anfallende Übersetzungsvolumen für unsere internen Übersetzer schlicht überwältigend gewesen.

Terminology management enables organizations of any size to use the same terms consistently within and across the communication types that accompany a product or service. Typical communication types include specifications, drawings, GUI, software strings, help systems, technical documentation, marketing materials, regulatory submissions, etc. As multiple authors typically contribute to these communications, terminology management is the most efficient solution for ensuring that the organization speaks with one voice.

Terminology Work: Tools And Processes That Make A Difference, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Technical texts, i.e., technical literature proper (data sheets, user documentation, scientific publications, etc.), as well as the whole range of medical and legal texts, have one feature in common: Their authors make generous use of: a) words not in common usage, e.g., dongle (a computer hardware device that prevents unauthorized use of protected software); and/or b) words that are in common usage but have a slightly, or even totally, different meaning in the special language, e.g., bug (in the general sense, this means a small insect, but in the computer software field, this is a small defect in the code …
