Google Translation Toolkit: Accessible Web Information
Google Translation Toolkit is a powerful and easy to use editor, allowing you to modify documents translated with Google Translate service, such that the final version of the translation has the maximum level of accuracy. Google Translate Service performs the translation of text content automatically, by using the machine translation technology, but the accuracy of the resulting text depends on the structure of the original document, therefore the human intervention is needed in most of the cases.
Only from a simple web browser based graphical user interface, Google Translation Toolkit makes easy to adjust or make correction to a document translated with Google Translate.
You are allowed to upload offline made HTML documents or web pages already published online, Microsoft Word, OpenDocument Text, Plain Text and Rich Text documents. Google Translation Toolkit also provides the possibility to upload Wikipedia or Knol articles.
The uploaded documents are automatically translated with Google Translate and then you are allowed to save or share the final version of your edited document. Google Translation Tolkit has more tools for professionals, like translation search, bilingual dictionaries and translation memory.
According to the Official Google Blog, “ the automatic translation system “learns” from user corrections, creating a virtuous cycle that can help translate content into 47 languages, or over 98% of the world’s Internet population.”
In conclusion, Google Translation Tolkit will improve the performance of Google Translate service and in the same time will also give you the possibility to have a better work flow when working with documents written in foreign languages.
