Further Plans for 2016…

New UI design driven by improved User Experience

User surveys provided us with lots of input!

More & better integration capabilities

Interactions with Studio

Automated upload & download of packages

QA Model round-tripping

Enriched preview capability for CMS integrations

Cloud Initiative: Richer online translation experience

Many other ideas…

SDL UI FrameworkLucia & Catalina

31

• Lucia: Unified navigation frame

• Single point of entry to multiple applications

• Common Notifications as a prompt for user action

• User settings/preferences

• SDL ID

• Catalina: Shared UI controls & icon library

• Harmonious User Experience paradigms

• Standard wizard control

• Ribbon bar for easy access to app-specific options

• Unify our terminology!

CMS to TMS/WS integration

○ Has existed for 5+ years

– Push content from CMS to a start a Translation Workflow

– Monitor status & assignment

– Retrieve localized content

○ A simple point-to-point integration

– Assumes that the TMS manages the Complete Localization Workflow

– Automates Project Creation and Translation Delivery

37

In-context Review within the CMS

○ Translation Workflow does not result in ‘frozen’ content

– A completed task is still subject to edits

○ Parallel use case with the Studio ‘Retrofit’ feature

– Different implementation for different tools and user personas

38

From APIs to the Cloud

○ APIs Expose Functionality– Show me segments

– Give me the target file

– Update the TM

– Anything the application can do, an API can do better

• An API puts the function in its right context

○ The SDL Language Cloud takes this to the Next Level– Encapsulation of language processing in accessible services

– Can be embedded into any user application

– Expose the richness of our technology without the complexity

• And in a familiar business context

SDL XMT – Sample Innovations

○ Social Media Translation

– Text not well formed – makes translation difficult (e.g. Arabic

dialects/English letters)

Initial Benefits of XMT

Better Translations New Languages Language Learning

○ Ability to apply different

translation technologies to

different languages

○ Improved translations for

difficult language pairs

For example: English - Japanese

○ Informal languages

○ Tweets

○ Texts

○ Arabizi

○ Passive training of

machine engine

48

Language Learning

○ Machine Translation

– The machine learns how to translate from source to target during the

training process

– The machine does not learn during the translation process

○ Machine Translation + Language Learning

– The machine learns how to translate from source to target during the

training process

– The machine learns and improves seamlessly, continuously, and in

real time from user feedback during the translation process

49

Industry Machine Translation

Training translation engines in vertical or corporate terminology

English -> Italian Life Science

Example

English Base Trained Accuracy…of origin

on the soles

or under the

nail.

..origine

sui suole o

sotto il

chiodo

...origine la

pianta dei

piedi o sotto

le unghie

The baseline

translates to

"bottom of

shoe" and "pin"

On average, trained engines handled industry terminology 24% better than standard MT baselines

90% of translators

reported terminology as

one of the biggest

challenges with post-

editing MT output
