Some useful tips for translators

Bayasalmaa

Make sure you revise the document(s) and the files before starting a translation. Understand any instructions that come with the job: they show you the way in which the translation must be approached. Ensure that all the files and documents the client needs are the ones you have received. Make sure that you are comfortable… Lire la suite Some useful tips for translators

About back translations…

Bayasalmaa

Back Translation' is the process of translating a document that has already been translated into a foreign language back to the original language. The nuances of translation are far-ranging. A literal word in one language, for example, may have no equivalent in another language, or could have a completely different "meaning" or effect in the translated language. This is why translation is an art rather than a science. No translation can be expected to convey perfectly the "meaning" of what consumers meant to convey in their own language. Hence the need for accredited translators who can translate verbatim. All the good work of a focus group moderator in not "interpreting" verbatim comments can be wiped out by a careless translator. Back translation can improve the reliability and validity of research in different languages by requiring that the quality of a translation is verified by an independent translator translating back into the original language. Original and back translated documents… Lire la suite About back translations…

Desert pictures

Bayasalmaa

Here I have some pictures done during the last trip to Gobi desert. The Gobi desert occupies 30% of Mongolia's territory and people live there in a difficult conditions. In that area dinosaurs once walked, in June and July temperatures commonly top 45 degrees. Creatues of Gobi are very patient, conserving their water to make the best use of what little there is. Different faces of Gobi and some nice moments are reflected.

Machine and manual translation – 1

Bayasalmaa

Machine translation is also known as Computer Aided Translation, is basically the use of software programs which have been specifically designed to translate both verbal and written texts from one language to another. Trados is one of a few computer-assisted translation tools (CAT tools). Its primary function is to allow translators to reuse translations. SDL purchased Trados a few years ago, and their products are generally branded now under the name of "SDL/Trados". The advantages of using machine translation include the fact that you can make documents in several languages easily.  Generally, it is rather useful for specialized texts (medical, technical, legal), I think. In my opinion any CAT tool is good for those parts of texts that repeat: if you have to translate extracts from business registers, school-leaving certificates, birth certificates, legal records or other such documents, then a CAT tool will do good. One extremely good thing is that Trados keeps the original formatting, so you usually don´t have… Lire la suite Machine and manual translation – 1
