  • Patent number: 12242819
    Abstract: Automatic post-editing of machine translated content is disclosed herein. An example method includes presenting machine translated segments of a document and their associated quality estimation scores, invoking an automated post-editing system for segments with unsatisfactory translation quality, inputting the segments into a generative AI model alongside contextual information, producing a revised translation of the segment using the generative AI model and iterating the generative AI process with varying prompts until a quality estimation score of the machine translated segment meets or exceeds a quality estimation score threshold, or a predetermined number of attempts are reached.

  • Patent number: 12222912
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating analytical data based on captured audit trails are described. An exemplary method includes generating a natural language preference for the natural language of a document based on an opening action performed by an end user using a client device associated with the end user during a user session; generating a unique transaction key in response to the opening action; correlating subsequent actions relative to the document via the unique transaction key; generating content rich analytical data from an audit trail generated during the user session; obtaining informational content for the end user from informational content stored in a database; translating the obtained informational content; reformatting a native extensible markup language format of the obtained informational content obtained from the database; and providing the translated and formatted informational content to the end user.

  • Patent number: 12190076
    Abstract: A source content routing system is described for distributing source content received from clients such as documents, to translators for performing translation services on the source content. The routing system extracts source content features, which may be represented as vectors. The vectors may be assembled into an input matrix, which may be processed using an artificial neural network, classifier, perceptron, CRF model, and/or the like, to select a translator such as a machine translation system and/or human. The translator provides translation services translation from a source language to a target language, post translation editing, proof reading, quality analysis of a machine, quality analysis of human translation, and/or the like and returns the product to the content routing system or clients.

  • Patent number: 11995414
    Abstract: Automatic post-editing of machine translated content is disclosed herein. An example method includes presenting a user with machine translated segments of a document and their associated quality estimation scores, allowing a user to invoke an automated post-editing system for segments with unsatisfactory translation quality, inputting the segments into a generative AI model alongside contextual information, producing a revised translation of the segment using the generative AI model and iterating the generative AI process with varying prompts until a satisfactory translation is achieved or a predetermined number of attempts are reached.

  • Patent number: 11321540
    Abstract: Fragment recall and adaptive automated translation are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining that an exact or fuzzy match for a portion of a source input cannot be found in a translation memory, performing fragment recall by matching subsegments in the portion against one or more whole translation units stored in the translation memory, and matching subsegments in the portion against corresponding one or more subsegments inside the one or more matching whole translation units, and returning any of the one or more matching whole translation units and the one or more matching subsegments as a fuzzy match, as well as the translations of those subsegments.

  • Patent number: 10984429
    Abstract: A prediction of the cost associated with translating textual content in a source language can be determined. A first quantity estimation of first textual content may be determined. The first textual content is to be translated via human translation. A second quantity estimation of second textual content may also be determined. The second textual content is to be translated via machine translation. An indication of a target language is obtained, wherein the source language and the target language form a language pair. The prediction of the cost associated with translating the first textual content and the second textual content from the source language to the target language is then determined. The prediction is based at least in part on the first quantity estimation, the second quantity estimation, and the language pair.
