Teachers at primary schools are female, at universities male. In hospitals, the nursing staff is female, the medics are male. Women are pretty, men are successful. And German government officials are female, even if they are called Olaf. Welcome to the machine.
The full Healthcare Marketing interview with oneword director and language expert Andrea Modersohn.
We recently explained how machine translation can be used in a professional business context and how the IEC/IEEE 82079-1 documentation standard ensures that technical documentation is comprehensible and usable in all languages. Now comes the reality check: How exactly do you use machine translation for technical texts, technical documentation and communication and what do you have to do for it?
The trade magazine Healthcare Marketing has published an article in its latest print edition that deals with the high demands of professional, reliable and safe translation in the international medical-pharmaceutical sector. The article includes an interview with Andrea Modersohn, director of oneword. We share the essentials.
In the ever-changing field of machine translation (MT), hardly a month goes by without news: new providers, new functionalities, new languages, new thoughts on how MT can be integrated even better into everyday translation. Since we do just that and use the technology continuously in a wide variety of applications, we are close to the developments in the industry and have taken a closer look at some of the innovations.
As a permanent DIN member, oneword has been actively contributing towards shaping new norms and standards in the translation industry since 2019. ISO 5060, an important new standard for evaluating translations, is currently nearing completion. Experts and future users now have the opportunity to comment on the standard in its draft status. We warmly invite you to do this.
At the beginning of July, the new DIN 8579 standard "Translation-oriented writing - Text production and text evaluation" was published. We take a look at the details and explain why authors of technical texts requiring translation cannot avoid this standard.
The IEC/IEEE 82079-1 documentation standard defines requirements for user manuals for reducing or verbalising risks when using products. This also applies to translated instructions, which is why translation processes play a crucial role, especially when using machine translation (MT). We explain how both worlds can be reconciled and give tips on what to look out for when using MT in the context of the documentation standard.
High-quality translation of technical texts, documentation and communication in electrical engineering and electronics is crucial for the clear understanding and reliable operation of all applications in all languages involved, especially for German suppliers who act as pioneers and quality leaders among international competitors and operate in or expand to different countries’ markets. We explain what is important here.
The translation of technical texts, technical documentation and communication is as demanding as it is responsible. Especially in mechanical engineering and plant construction, where high-quality products are in demand worldwide and must therefore be understood and reliably operated in all languages. We explain the specific requirements in this key industry.
