DeepLschools other online translators with clever machine learning

     Hat Tip to Devin Coldewey & Frederic Lardinois

     Tech giants Google, Microsoft and Facebook are all applying the lessons of machine learning to translation, but a small company called DeepL has outdone them all and raised the bar for the field. Its translation tool is just as quick as the outsized competition, but more accurate and nuanced than any we’ve tried. [...] DeepL’s translations were generally superior to those from Google Translate and Bing.

     [...] Whereas Google Translate often goes for a very literal translation that misses some nuances and idioms (or gets the translation of these idioms dead wrong), DeepL often provides a more natural translation that comes closer to that of a trained translator.”

     [...] But don’t take anyone else’s word for it — test it out yourself.

     Embout pour chapeau à Devin Coldewey & Frederic Lardinois

     (Traduction DeepL non retouchée)

     Les géants de la technologie Google, Microsoft et Facebook appliquent tous les leçons de l'apprentissage automatique à la traduction, mais une petite entreprise appelée DeepL les a tous dépassés et a élevé la barre pour le domaine. Son outil de traduction est aussi rapide que la concurrence hors norme, mais plus précis et nuancé que n'importe quel autre que nous avons essayé. Les traductions de DeepL étaient généralement supérieures à celles de Google Translate et Bing.

     Alors que Google Translate est souvent une traduction très littérale qui manque de nuances et d'idiomes (ou qui se trompe complètement dans la traduction de ces idiomes), DeepL fournit souvent une traduction plus naturelle qui se rapproche de celle d'un traducteur expérimenté.

     Mais ne vous fiez à personne d'autre, faites-le vous-même.

     La punta del sombrero a Devin Coldewey & Frederic Lardinois

     (Traducción en profundidad no retocada)

     Los gigantes tecnológicos Google, Microsoft y Facebook están aplicando las lecciones de aprendizaje automático a la traducción, pero una pequeña empresa llamada DeepL las ha superado a todas y ha elevado el listón para el campo. Su herramienta de traducción es tan rápida como la competencia, pero más precisa y matizada que cualquiera de las que hemos intentado. Las traducciones de DeepL eran generalmente superiores a las de Google Translate y Bing.

     Mientras que Google Translate suele apostar por una traducción muy literal que pierde algunos matices y expresiones idiomáticas (o se equivoca en la traducción de estas expresiones lingüísticas), DeepL a menudo proporciona una traducción más natural que se acerca más a la de un traductor capacitado ".

     Pero no se fíe de la palabra de nadie más, pruébela usted mismo.

Translation Commons

About Translation Commons

The idea of Translation Commons (TC) was born with the realization that translated data and memories truly belongs to translators who create them and they should be the ones able to capitalize on their work. If there could be a digital platform where their memories are protected, perhaps they would be willing to collaborate and collect their data for their own benefit.
After many conversations during 2014 at language conferences, networking events and private meetings, Jeannette Stewart wrote a long-form article on LinkedIn “Can the Language Industry Embrace Collaborative Commons and Survive?” which had an overwhelming response. In December 2014 she created a LinkedIn group called Translation Commons setting out the premise of a community collaboration. Within 20 days, 1,000 members signed up and since then the numbers are constantly increasing. As feasibility studies go, this was a runaway success.
Translation Commons was incorporated in the US in January 2015 and applied for nonprofit exempt status in April 2015. IRS granted TC nonprofit status under Section 501 (c) (3) in Oct 2015 and further classified TC as a public charity under Section 170 (b) (1) (A) (vi).
Founders Jeannette Stewart and Alan Stewart have been in the Language Industry since 1990 when they created CommuniCare, an LSP specializing in Life Sciences with offices in multiple countries. In 2009 they sold CommuniCare to a larger LSP and since then have been advocates for the improvement of various issues within the Language Industry.
During 2015 and while waiting for the application process for nonprofit status, there were many opportunities for community discussions in the LinkedIn group. Although the predominant issue remains that technology is not benefiting translators, there were other issues that the community decided to work on, the first being the need to create Mentoring Guidelines for freelancers to be able to offer mentoring to young and inexperienced translators. In true community volunteer mode, a small group was formed, a survey was created, results have been analyzed, conclusions have been drawn and now a group a 60 volunteers has undertaken to research further and start creating the Guidelines.
In the beginning of 2016 and during many conversations, a Founding Advisory Board started being created by volunteers within the Language Industry. There are now four active Think Tanks; Community, Technology, Mentoring and Interpreting. Everyone agrees that the language community is the enabler of global commerce and communication. Although it may seem finite and insignificant in comparison with others, yet without it there can be no professional global communication. Our language needs are now real-time and truly global.
Translation Commons’ vision to help the language industry by building an infrastructure to:
Improve its technological capabilities across all languages
Enable current and future professionals (students)
Facilitate collaboration and mentoring
Organize the world’s language resources and initiatives
Help create a roadmap for the industry
Translation Commons seeks to fulfill the following objectives:
Provide tools of trade for free use
Safeguard integrity of data and secure all parties copyright
Create consolidated memories for the benefit of translators
Assist students with critical transition to becoming professionals
Introduce self-governing practices to the language community
Improve relationships and unite fragmented industry
