Previous Action Items

Action Items

  • [Kensie] fleshing out and putting it onto wiki
  • Determine Phase 1 milestones
    • Research scope of proposed milestones
      • [Gordon]:
        • Read a few of the more notable papers on MT output evaluation.
        • Contact mitcho about leveraging hyperlink constituencies for use in Intellego.
        • Look into what it would take to translate snippets, including investigating existing open source machine translation engines and tying them into Pontoon.
      • [Jeff]:
        • Research what it would entail to translate only specific terminology.
  • [All] Rework research questions within the travel metaphor paradigm

Research

Possible Phase 1

  • Terminology output on the web
    • Using TBX files, scrape translatable web content on a given web page, find 100% terminology matches using a TBX file, retrieve translation equivalent and inject as added parenthetical.
    • It's probably easy to extract the text from the DOM; perhaps a little more difficult to determine what text should be translated.
  • MT of Firefox snippets within Pontoon tool

Hyperlink consituencies

mitcho did some research into hyperlink constituencies which turned into a full-on project at MIT:
