Patent number: 10311148Abstract: A method for machine translation, comprising receiving a source string in a source language, an indication of a target language, and user identification information. The method includes using the user identification information to identify at least one memory with user-specific translation data. The method includes tokenizing the source string, using at least one processor, to produce a tokenized source string comprising any unique temporary textual elements associated with corresponding target textual elements during tokenization. The method includes obtaining a translated string from a translator, the translated string being at least a partial translation of the tokenized source string and including all of the unique temporary textual elements. The method includes generating an output string using at least one processor, the generation comprising replacing all of the unique temporary textual elements in the translated string with the associated target textual elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Lionbridge Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James Peter Marciano, Dean S.

Patent number: 8494834Abstract: A method for local, computer-aided translation using remotely-generated translation predictions includes the step of determining that a translation stored in a remote translation memory is useful in translating a first portion of a local document. A local machine receives the translation. Prior to receiving a request form a translator for the translation, a determination is made that the remote translation memory stores an updated version of the translation. The updated version of the translation is identified as useful in translating a second portion of the document. The local machine generates a translation of the second portion of the document through reuse of the updated version of the translation, responsive to the identification of the utility of the updated version of the translation in translating the second portion of the document.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2006Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Lionbridge Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Joachim Schurig

Patent number: 6345243Abstract: A computer-implemented system, method, and product are provided to propagate an externally produced translation of a first occurrence of a word, phrase, or other group of characters to be translated (referred to herein as a “translatable source segment”) in a first source file to at least one occurrence of a corresponding target segment in one or more target files of a target project. The corresponding target segment corresponds with a second occurrence of the translatable source segment in any of the one or more source files. The source files may have the same file format, or two or more of the source files may have different file formats. Also, two or more source files may have character formats that are different from each other, and/or they may be written in different languages. In one implementation, the propagator propagates the externally produced translation to all corresponding target segments in the target project that correspond with the translatable source segment.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1998Date of Patent: February 5, 2002Assignee: Lionbridge Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Jonathan P.

Patent number: 6345244Abstract: A computer-implemented system, method, and product associate words, phrases, or other characters (“words”) to be translated with previous translations of such words, if a previous translation exists. The words to be translated, and their identifying attributes (such as, for example, formatting information), are extracted from one or more source files. The previous translations, and their identifying attributes, are extracted from one or more target files. If a previous translation does not exist, the words to be translated, and their attributes, are copied to create a pseudo-previous translation, with attributes. Each word to be translated is associated with a corresponding previous translation based upon commonalities of their attributes. Such words may also be associated based upon their respective locations in their respective files. Each word to be translated, and its attributes, may be stored with a previous translation in a source-target pair record of a source-target pair database.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1998Date of Patent: February 5, 2002Assignee: Lionbridge Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Jonathan P.
