Background

The demand for translation services is steadily growing. In 2013, Common Sense Advisory observed that the US$35 billion language services market is expanding at an annual rate of 5.13%. In response to this growth, the use of machine translation (MT) is becoming more widespread, and, in turn, this has resulted in increased demand for tools to adequately assess the productivity and the overall efficiency of machine translation.

Technology Overview

The iOmegaT Translation Productivity Test-Bench is a suite of language tools that gathers translator activity data and calculates the effect of MT on translator speed.

iOmegaT collects and integrates data from OmegaT, which is a free, open-source CAT tool used by many professional translators. This automated approach to collecting productivity data is a ‘game changer’ in current industry reporting practices, bringing a new dimension to business intelligence and data analysis, and ultimately enhancing MT quality and translator productivity.
