Only for SDL Trados Studio users? Apr 1, 2020



I think EC only open access for SMEs with SDL Trados Studio.

I will wait for OmegaT plugin.
==

https://presidencymt.eu/#/plugin

SDL Trados Studio plug-in

I accept the end-user license agreement. (Read agreement)

Download for version 2015-2018

Download for version 2019

Instructions for use

Download and install the EU Council Presidency Translator plug-in for SDL Trados Studio.
In SDL Trados Studio, select your language pair in Project Settings.
Check "Use different translation providers for this language pair".
Add the EU Council Presidency Translator.
Enter your ID in the authentication window (request an ID).

Start your project.

Translation suggestions from your EU Council Presidency Translator system will appear on screen during the translation process (users can also apply EU Council Presidency Translator to pre-translate files in batch processing).
---
I tested presidencymt (TXT and DOCX translator) and compared with Google in January. By me Google wins.
Maybe now they will have stronger infrastructure.

I thought such a monopolistic approach was illegal under EU law, but perhaps that doesn't apply to the Brussels bunker.

Dutch to English is quite all right, actually Apr 2, 2020

I tried Dutch to English translation in the general domain (print style newspaper article, mature author, clear writing and full sentences), and the translation was much, much better than Google or Bing. The English grammar/syntax was entirely correct and the translation successfully captured 90% the first-level meaning of all the source text sentences. However, when I tried another article from another newspaper (blog-style newspaper article, young author, punctuated writing style), it obviously faltered a bit more, with having to guess omitted words, confusing false friends (and reverse false friends), and having surprisingly inconsistent syntax in two or three places, but still reasonably useful for gisting or PEFMT purposes.

As always, the quality of the machine translation depends on the quality of the source text and on whether the source text is a good "fit" for machine translation. All in all, I think PEFMT using eTranslation will be faster than PEFMT using Google or Bing.

Well, the F can mean many things, but a polite option would be "free". As opposed to non-free MT, which is supposed to be better. Yes, I confess, I made it up. I think it's because I'm a little grumpy about agencies passing off Google Translate and Bing Translate off as PEMT'able MT. Use it, don't use it.
