The CovidTM Translation Memory by Smartcat
03 April 2020
Smartcat decided to create an open-access translation memory based on the materials about the coronavirus
The same goes for Smartcat. It has become complicated these days to write a post without mentioning the name of this ill-fated virus.
Taking into account the numerous texts about the coronavirus, epidemics, etc. being hastily translated in all language directions, Smartcat decided to do a good deed by collecting them in a translation memory open to general use—CovidTM, and invites all translation companies to participate in its filling. Once the appropriate materials appear, they will be uploaded as an open-access multilingual TMX file. Smartcat promises to fill it with new translations regularly.
