Build a web app that help Vietnamese people “understand" then "translate" English docs faster & easier!
What make it great?
Analyze English document to show more correctly Vietnamese meanings of each English words.
(if possible) let computer do machine translation first, then help people refine the translation
Saving & versioning translating documents, people can save a draft, and comeback to finish it later
Multiple users can collaborate to translate a document
Users translated documents that help to improve machine translation quality
The more users contribute their documents, the better the service is
