Auto-Translation
Auto-Translation is a language technology that assembles translations combining
fragments from
Translation Memory results and
glossary entries.
Computer Aided Translation (CAT)
Computer technology application designed to assist human translators in the translation
process.
Character Set
A character set (sometimes referred to as code page) is a collection of characters
that
are associated with a sequence of natural numbers in order to facilitate the storage
of
text in computers and the transmission of text through telecommunication networks.
Inline Tags
Inline tags are special codes that represent formatting information from the original
document that is embedded in a segment.
Machine Translation
A technology that automatically translates text from one language to another using
previously defined grammar rules, glossaries, statistic analysis and other methods.
RemoteTM
RemoteTM is an open source Translation Memory (TM) server with
an open REST API that allows sharing memories and glossaries over the Internet.
SRX
Segmentation Rules eXchange (SRX) is an XML-based open standard, originally published
by LISA (Localization Industry Standards Association), for describing how translation
and
other language-processing tools segment text for processing.
TBX
TBX (TermBase eXchange) is an open XML-based standard for exchanging structured
terminological data. TBX version 2, also known as ISO 30042:2008, was originally released
in
2002 by LISA's OSCAR special interest group. TBX version 3, also known as ISO 30042:2019,
is
the latest release published by ISO.
TMX
Translation Memory eXchange (TMX) is an open standard originally published by LISA
(Localization Industry Standards Association). The purpose of TMX is to allow easier
exchange of translation memory data between tools and/or translation vendors with
little or
no loss of critical data during the process.
Translation Memory
Translation Memory (TM) is a language technology that enables the translation of
segments (paragraphs, sentences or phrases) of documents by searching for similar
segments in a database and suggesting matches that are found in the databases as
possible translations.
Source Language
The language of a document that is to be translated.
Target Language
The language into which a document is being translated.
XLIFF
XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) is an open standard developed by
OASIS
(Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards). The purpose
of this
vocabulary is to store localizable data and carry it from one step of the localization
process to the other, while allowing interoperability between tools.
