Abstract: An apparatus for assisting a human translator includes a source text module, a translator workspace module, a parsing module, a selection module, and a glossary module. The source text module receives source text in a source language. The translator workspace module displays a translator workspace field that is editable by a user. The parsing module parses the source text received by the source text module into separate portions. The selection module selects a first portion (first selected portion) of the separate portions for translation. The glossary module displays a term for term translation of the first selected portion of source text in a target language.
