[Corpora-List] Managing texts and their edition history ...

[Thomas Plagwitz]

Hi, 

 

The last response reminds me that the Microsoft Collaborative Translations
Framework was just updated, and that I have been wondering whether we could
use this for class size exercises in our translation program:

nslations-framework-useful-for-translation-exercises/ 

 

Maybe you can help us figure that out ;-)

 

Thanks, 

Thomas

> In order to minimize potential merge conflicts, keep each line to a
minimal length (say 80 characters) and do not realign the paragraph in the
document while editing.  This serves to keep lines reasonably atomic.

If you want to avoid the document locking that wikis normally use in favor
of

a closer, more interactive style of collaborative editing, you may want to
look at mobwrite:

http://code.google.com/p/google-mobwrite/

MobWrite uses a real-time diff algorithm to diff and merge changes from
multiple users

while everyone is editing (similar to the collaborative Mac editor
SubEthaEdit). As far

as I remember, the server code of MobWrite is quite hacking-friendly and
could be

extended to do additional things.

Google translate's "suggest a better translation" feature works by letting
you edit the

translation for one particular sentence.

 

Best,

Yannick Versley
