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.

Where will experienced translators come from if there are fewer inexperienced ones on the market?
Abstract semi-philosophical considerations Machine translation is gradually pushing out of the market those translators who cannot keep up with it in terms of quality, i.e., those who are not very experienced. As a result, the ratio of experienced to inexperienced translators should theoretically gradually change in favor of the former. This seems to be a […]
