Russian translation software

[Deborah Hoffman]

Hi,
Do you mean machine translation (ie you input one
language and get another), or computer-assisted
translation?  If the former I don't think it's gone
anywhere or is likely anytime soon, though MT has been
used in limited capacity for French/English weather
reports for some time in Canada.  If the latter, there
are a number of tools on the market that can increase
speed and consistency by remembering past
translations, making current suggestions, and
interacting with electronic dictionaries and/or
allowing you to develop your own glossaries.  A lot of
people use Trados, but Wordfast works roughly the same
way, is about 30% of the price and fully interfaces
with Trados, as well as with Word,  Excel etc.  Hope
this helps!

Subject: Russian translation software

Dear SEELANGers,

Does anyone have any experience with translation
software (Russian to
English)?  A while ago the technology was very
rudimentary -- has it
improved to the point where it saves some time on a
large translation
project?

Thank you very much.

Mike O'Donnell
