Quality control of human and machine technical translation

Presenter: Aaron Hebenstreit

Description:

As the standards of machine translation develop rapidly, translators, revisers, and other quality control professionals must carefully check technical translations for accuracy. Certain aspects and features should be noticed in order to produce a product that can stand up to the scrutiny of experts in the field, such as attorneys, scientists, and inventors. The speaker will explore different error types and classifications when reviewing technical texts translated by humans, computers, and combinations of the two. Presented in English with Chinese examples.
