MT Comparison

Description

The Problem

Today the use of Machine Translation is on the up and for many project managers, translators and localization engineers the problem,

is knowing, which provider to use for a particular project, so you can be sure the amount of post-editing effort will be reduced to a minimum.

The Solution

Before the MT Comparison plugin, the solution would be to pre-translate the projects several times and review the results,all of which takes a lot of time.

But now, this plugin provides you with the ability to pre-translate the project with up to five different Machine Translation providers at a time, and

generate a single report in Excel with the results of each engine side by side.

This makes the review of the translations much easier to compare.

To learn how to use this application, please visit MT Comparison in the RWS Community wiki

The MT Comparison Tool allows you to generate translation reports based on Language Cloud Translation engines and/or any other MT provider in your project settings.

Good to know:

Application runs analysis for only one project at the time. If you select multiple projects -> "MT Comparison Report" a message window will appear.
Some of the Translation Provider plugins can store Supported Languages in the settings of the project IF they are up to date -> use the latest updates (of the TPs) and you'll be able to see their supported language pairs and their flags in the MT Comparison Tool.

Where can I find it?

Right click on the project you want to run the application and select "MT Comparison Tool" action.

After the connection to LC was established MT Comparison Tool window will appear:

This window is divided in 3 areas:

Translation providers grid. The grid will be populated will all translation engines available in LC which matches the language pairs from selected project.Files grid. This grid will be populated with the files available in selected project.Report settings. We'll add in the report only the segments which match the criteria selected in the interface

Report settings details

By default the application will add only untranslated, unlocked segments in the report. If the status of the segment isn't "Not Translated" that segment will not be added to report

Options available

Inclusions

"Include drafts and translated segments"
"Include locked segments"
"Include draft segments below"
"Include AT segments" Include segments that were translated and confirmed by automated translation.

Filters

"Only translate ... segments". Add there the number of segments you want to add in your report for each file. Because the application allows selection of multiple engines and multiple files we added 5 segments by default.
"Only translate engine from segment ... to segment ... ". This option allows you to specify the range of segments you want to see in the report
"Only translate segments that are ... characters or over". Allows you to specify the length of the segment.

How to generate the report?

After you selected the engines, files and settings for your report click on "Generate report". A new window will appear from where you need to select the destination path and the name of your report.

After the report was generated successfully a confirmation message will appear and the generated report will be opened automatically.

Structure of the report

For each language pair a new style sheet is created. For each file a new table with translation results is created.

Studio Subtitling

By Trados AppStore Team

The Problem this app addressesThe volume of audio visual content for localization is growing rapidly. Turnaround times are getting shorter and many of those working in the industry are feeling increased price pressures in dealing with this sort of content. Translation tools today lack proper context for subtitlers, offering poor support for the variety of file formats.The Solution this app providesThe Studio Subtitling plugin supports enhanced features for audio visual translation, editing, proofing and works synchronously with the Studio editor in support of the following filetypes:- ASS (available here on the RWS AppStore)- SRT (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- webVTT (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- STL (available here on the RWS AppStore)- SBV (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- TTML (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)NOTE:The plugin does not work with single document projects, resulting in errors. To use it properly, you need to create standard projects.It is not possible to use the numpad for non-subtitling files if this plugin is installed. This is a limitation of Studio. The workaround is to remove the keyboard shortcuts for numpad in the Studio options. They can be reset when needed by using "Reset to Defaults" in the Subtitling Keyboard shortcut list.Click here to download the TQA model for Trados Studio that is also supported by this plugin.

studioViews

By Trados AppStore Team

ProblemSometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don't want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.ResolutionThe solution to all of these requirements is studioViews. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).

Multilingual XML FileType

By Trados AppStore Team

- to learn more about the app itself please look in the Multilingual XML FileType wikiThe ProblemSometimes you receive XLIFF files with large dumps of html in CDATA sections, or invalid XLIFF files (still well formed but not recognised as valid XLIFF by Trados Studio), partially translated bilingual XML files, multilingual XML files and all the work this entails in creating settings for each language pair and then attempting to piece them altogether afterwards or even needing to use an html embedded content processor AND regex rules for placeables. If you can recognise these sort of problems then this filetype will bring some welcome relief!The SolutionThe Multilingual XML FileType solves all of these problems and more. Some common usecases for it would be:create bilingual or multilingual projects from an XML file containing at least two languages handle large CDATA dumps in XLIFF files correctly handling well formed, but invalid XLIFF files that Trados Studio will not handle out of the box handle bilingual or multilingual XML files without the need to copy the source into the target element and translate the target element only. handle partially translated bilingual or multilingual XML filesYou can learn more about the app itself in the Multilingual XML FileType wiki.

Post-Edit Compare

By Trados AppStore Team

Post-Edit Compare is a tool designed to report translation modifications during the post-edit phases of a translation workflow. The tool works by comparing two versions of the same SDLXLIFF file (before and after changes were applied); the files with changes are highlighted and all modifications are included in a comparison report. The comparison report is formatted in a way that simplifies the understanding of what changes were applied from one version of the file to the other, along with a full break down of the modifications and related cost analysis. Improved handling for TERp analysis, much improved and simplified reporting process from the main Studio Projects View, ability to save reports in Excel
