oneCleanup: cleaning up data made easy

Data is the new gold: it's valuable and required for a range of processes, applications and developments. Generative AI in particular is showing once again what large amounts of data can create. But data is also the new rubbish: it appears in a wide variety of places and in large quantities, accumulates quickly, never reduces in size and sometimes grows very uncontrollably. And the bigger the mountain of data, the more difficult it becomes to use it meaningfully. Our oneCleanup service takes on this challenge and helps to uncover the shimmering gold beneath the layer of dirt. We present the background information and details, and we demonstrate why it's high time that databases are seen not as a tangled mess but as treasure troves.

Term extraction and AI: how to get it right.

Term extraction is the first step in extracting specialised terminology and creating a terminology database. How the extraction is carried out depends largely on the database and the time and personnel resources available. This is because working manually quickly becomes extremely time-consuming when the source files are extensive. And, at the moment, AI is always called upon if manual tasks need to be supported or automated. But what does term extraction look like? Is it enough to formulate a prompt to extract all the specialised terms from a text? We pitted human, machine and AI against each other in several tests with different texts and prompting strategies. Here we present the results and show the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three options.

Machine translation within the company: oneTranslate translates quickly, is data-secure, and uses the correct terminology

Thanks to freely accessible translation engines, it is now possible to translate a document, an e-mail or an informational text without great expense or effort, but unfortunately this is not without its risks. With oneTranslate, a module from our oneSuite, we offer companies a tool that combines fast machine translation with data security, while complying with specified terminology.

Updated standard ISO 11669: Planning and commissioning translation projects

The updated standard ISO 11669 "Translation Projects – General Guidance" was published in March. It supports clients in specifying requirements for translation projects and has been expanded to include current and important topics such as machine translation and translation risks.
