Benefits of Computer Assisted Translation to Information Managers and End-Users (L'Interet de la Traduction Assistee par Ordinateur Pour les Responsables de Centres d'Information et Pour Les Utilisateurs Finaux)
Abstract
The aim of this Lecture Series is to show how computer assisted translation (CAT) can be of benefit not only to information managers but also to end-users. Existing systems will be described as well as the nature of the texts to be processed, the technical and human problems related to the use of such systems and the needs of end-users (quality level of translations, information acquisition in the mother tongue...). Examples of on-going applications and systems under development will also be presented. These examples will highlight the benefits documentation centres will derive from CAT and suggest solutions of interest to the end-user. Partial Contents: Typology of Existing Systems; Problems Encountered with the Use of Computer Assisted Translation in a Technical Publications Production Environment; End Users' Needs; Aspects of Machine Translation in the United States Air Force; The Processing of Technical Literature at Aerospatiale (Processing Time and Cost); State of the Art in West Germany. Keywords: NATO Furnished.
