[Corpora-List] PET: a free, open-source translation post-editing tool

[Lucia Specia]

Dear colleagues,

We have just made available a new version of PET, a stand-alone tool
to post-edit and assess machine or human translations. This is a free,
open-source tool under LGPL license. It was built using Java, so it
runs on any platform:

If you are interested in evaluating translations through post-editing,
this is an easy and cheap solution: you only need to provide source
and translation segments (from one or multiple MT systems - it does
not depend on any MT system) to set an experiment. While translators
post-edit the translations, implicit quality indicators such as
post-editing time, keystrokes, edit operations, and possibly others
are stored for each segment. Explicit quality assessments can also be
collected.

The tool also works for monolingual revision. It can read from
monolingual and bilingual dictionaries and render html for special
markups. It also allows establishing constraints for jobs on a per
segment basis (for example, the maximum time or length for a given
post-edited segment).

Our plan is to maintain and further develop the tool, so if you have
any comments/suggestions on how to improve it or ideas for interesting
experiments, let us know!

Best,
