AdaptiveMT
Transformational MT, made unique

10. • Drag and Drop to translate files

project creation

languages – no need to go
through a long list
• Easier TM creation when
opening a document
• Get started with a simple right
click from Windows Explorer
Easier first steps with Studio

11. Merge segments over hard return
• Sometimes source texts are not
written with localization in mind,
which means that the segmentation
is not optimal for translation.
• With Studio 2017 you can merge
segments that are problematic for
translation, even across hard returns,
so that you can focus on what’s
important!
Customize your filters with the
Display Filter API
• Advanced Display Filter options in
Studio 2017

• Search source and target
• Further possibilities available with
the API

17. UPLIFT

18. Current TM technology
Terms
Documents, paragraph and
sentence
Segment Level
Sub-segment, small phrases
Providing comprehensive matches at every level within your translation projects

19. Current TM technology – Concordance Search
Subsegment matches are
much more common, but
subsegment recall differs
significantly among CAT
tools, so it matters which
tool you use.
Current TM technology
means you can only get so
much out of your TMs
Segment-level recall is
similar among all CAT
tools

20. Benefits:
• Simpler TM leverage
Matches come directly from TM through AutoSuggest –
no need to distribute AutoSuggest dictionaries
• Save time and effort
No extraction step required – newly-added TUs available
immediately for subsegment recall
• High confidence
Easy to identify matches as they are highlighted in both
source and target (context) so you can be confident they
are high-quality and relevant
Use case:
• I can’t build AutoSuggest dictionaries
(using Studio Freelance)
• My TMs aren’t large enough to build an
AutoSuggest Dictionary
• Concordance search doesn’t always give
me a result
• It’s not clear which target fragment
corresponds to the source in concordance
search
