SDL Acquires Leading Media Asset Management Company Explore news & views on language technology (May 4 2011) Content/Asset Management , Language Products/Services , M&A Verdict from Ben Sargent, Common Sense Advisory: "It remains to be seen whether video subtitling and translation functions belong as an application in an enterprise marketing or web content management suite, as a feature within a translation management system, or as a standalone tool like dotSUB. But given that Cisco believes that over 90% of internet traffic will soon be video, expect to see multiple companies betting on each of these strategies. The video game has just begun."

Multilingual Web & Social Media Explore Translation and Localization Blog (Apr 28 2011) Social Media , Internet/Media , Language Products/Services Fresh from the Multilingual Web conference in Pisa some things stood out in my mind. One of the things that got me thinking was how customers use the multilingual and how feedback is rapidly spread through social media and how important it is to get it right! So you have all heard that if someone has a good experience they tell 3 people and if they have a bad experience they tell 10 people. Well no longer with the social networking phenomenon that is sweeping the web. Take twitter for example – a person has a question about a product... (Read Full Article)

9. An Exploration of Post-Editing Mt – Part I Explore eMpTy Pages (Feb 15 2011) Machine Translation , Translation , Language Products/Services The topic of post-editing MT (PEMT) (yes, somebody has already come up with an acronym) continues to gain prominence in the professional translation world and is also a subject of heated and sometimes disdainful discussion amongst many translators in the blogosphere. There is a lot of confusion and conflation in the discussion, and this post is an attempt to define and clarify the issues around this growing phenomenon, to see if it is possible to have a more constructive dialogue.  This is a subject of some importance, so I think it is worth exploring over a series of entries, but we can hopefully frame the key issues in this post. I should also say at the outset, that I maintain a perspective that assumes that much of the investment in MT is considered as creation of long-term translation production infrastructure rather than as something used for a single one-time project. This perspective I think makes MT at least somewhat different from most other “CAT Tools”.   There are at least three (and probably more) areas of general concern on PEMT:A clear definition of what PEMT actually is Compensation for PEMT work The quality of the work experience What is the task of post-editing machine translation?The most commonly understood definition of PEMT in the localization world is described graphically below. It is usually understood to be the linguistic work needed to correct MT output to a linguistic quality level that is close to, or indiscernible from a standard TEP process ... (Read Full Article)

10. Italian Leading LSPs Arancho and Ic.Doc Merge Explore Localization Industry 411 (Feb 3 2011) Language Products/Services , M&A As I predicted a few weeks ago, the consolidation movement in the language industry kicked off early. Today, Roberto Ganzerli and Susan West, respectively CEOs of Arancho and Ic.Doc announced the formation of Arancho Doc srl.Susan West & Roberto GanzerliThe new entity will combine the talents of companies that excel in software localization, technical documentation, life sciences, and CMS integration in nine offices in seven countries (Italy, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Japan, Spain, and Switzerland).Arancho Doc will be run by Roberto Ganzerli (Chief Strategy Officer) and Klaus Haase (COO) and will be headquartered in Bologna. The combined organization has 90 employees and approximately €8.5 million in revenues.After the successful integration of the Czech LSP Donatello last year, Arancho Doc is now looking to expand into Germany and the United States through strategic mergers or acquisitions.I always thought that Arancho's unique strategy of growing in peripheral markets was very smart. I loved the fact that the company headquartered in Rimini (Federico Fellini's birthplace) had offices in Barcelona and Helsinki, before venturing into more traditional and highly competitive locations like Brussels and Prague. Now, with the addition of Ic.Doc, the organization adds more cosmopolitan Zurich and Osaka to their list of locations.Let's see who is next. (Read Full Article)

12. Applied Language Solutions: Translan acquisition Explore news & views on language technology (Feb 1 2011) Machine Translation , Language Products/Services , Open Source , M&A Fast growth language services provider, Applied Language Solutions (ALS), has added significantly more weight to its machine translation offer with the acquisition of Dublin-based Traslan Teoranta Ltd. ALS identified the opportunity to strengthen its machine translation knowledge and capabilities through the acquisition of Traslan, which has a deep-rooted reputation for machine translation expertise. The acquisition also gives the ALS team access to an established customer base in Ireland, which it can target with additional language services, not previously provided by Traslan. Machine translation has gained significant momentum in the language services industry in recent years, particularly since the introduction of statistical machine translation technology in 2003. Traslan was established in response to this advancement in machine-assisted translation and designed and built its own MT engine, which has proven to be very successful with particular language pairs. Commenting on the company's second recent acquisition, Gavin Wheeldon, CEO at Applied Language Solutions, said: "Traslan gives our team of IT developers access to a proprietary engine, which is extremely valuable in terms of our MT intellectual property. The company has a reputation for being actively involved with cutting-edge EU research and this is something that we are keen to continue with as we integrate Traslan into ALS. This move further cements our commitment to MT within our language services provision." ALS has offered custom-built machine translation engines to customers for two years, having focused its in-house developers on building and tuning custom engines, which can halve translation budgets and more than double ...

14. The Problem with Standards in the Localization Industry Explore eMpTy Pages (Aug 22 2010) Content/Asset Management , Language Products/Services , Standards In my continuing conversation with Renato Beninatto we recently talked about standards: It is clear from this conversation that the word “standards” is a source of great confusion in the professional translation world. Part of the problem is conflation and part of the problem is definition or lack of “clear” definition on what is meant by standards especially as they relate to quality. In the conversation, we both appear to agree that data interchange is becoming much more critical and it would be valuable to the industry to have robust data interchange standards, however, we both feel that overall process standards like EN15038 have very little value in practical terms. This discussion on quality standards in particular is often difficult because of conflation, i.e. very different concepts being equated and assumed to be the same. I think we have at least 3 different concepts that are being referenced and confused as being the same concept,  in many discussions on “quality”. End to End Process Standards: ISO 9001, EN15038, Microsoft QA and LISA QA 3.1. They have a strong focus is on administrative, documentation, review and revision processes not just the linguistic quality assessment of the final translation. Automated SMT System Output Translation Quality Metrics (TQM): BLEU, METEOR, TERp, F-Measure, Rouge and several others that only focus on rapidly scoring MT output by assessing precision and recall and referencing one or more human translations of the exact same source material to develop this score.(Useful for MT system developers ...
