1 Free Online Translators: A Comparative Assessment of worldlingo.com, freetranslation.com and translate.google.com

2 Introduction / Structure of paper Design of experiment: choice of ST, SLs, translation packages Proposed method for assessing chosen packages Analyses of each of packages outputs Which package produces the most effective output (individual languages translated / overall performance)?

3 Design: Choice of ST 200 words European Commission website Title of text: Key European transport projects given boost at TEN-T days

4 Design: Choice of SLs 3 languages: Romance (French), Germanic (German), Scandinavian (Swedish) Do translation packages handle languages which belong to different families, and are therefore structurally different, more or less effectively?

5 Design: Choice of packages Packages: which are frequently used can handle texts of 150+ words can translate from the 3 chosen languages

6 Proposed method for assessing chosen packages Difficulties of assessing MT (machine translation) Present assessment according to terminology of White (2003): Black box approach to analysis Declarative evaluation Comparative evaluation

7 Method: Assessing fidelity and intelligibility Measure fidelity (accuracy of information conveyed) (White 2003) on scale of 1-5 Measure intelligibility (TL fluency) (ibid.) on scale of 1-5 Divide text into 29 semantic chunks (Hacioglu & Ward 2003) and rate chunks in 9 TTs (3 packages x 3 languages) for fidelity and intelligibility

8 Method: Assessing consistency of terminology Determining the range of acceptable translations of given terminology Sample mark scheme for key items of vocabulary ( memorandums of understanding, documents, official statements, acts )

9 Assessment of outputs: 1) worldlingo.com French: Fidelity 104/145, Intelligibility 103/105, Total 207/290 German: Fidelity 79/145, Intelligibility 71/145, Total 150/290 Swedish: Fidelity 98/145, Intelligibility 92/145, Total 190/290

10 Assessment of outputs: 2) freetranslation.com French: Fidelity 98/145, Intelligibility 92/145, Total 190/290 German: Fidelity 72/145, Intelligibility 70/145, Total 142/290 Swedish: Fidelity 127/145, Intelligibility 130/145, Total 257/290

11 Assessment of outputs: 3) translate.google.com French: Fidelity 123/145, Intelligibility 124/145, Total 247/290 German: Fidelity 113/145, Intelligibility 114/145, Total 227/290 Swedish: Fidelity 134/145, Intelligibility 130/145, Total 264/290

12 Summary of findings Clear correlation between fidelity / intelligibility of MT outputs (White 2003) Present experiment: All texts display inaccuracies on lexical, grammatical and syntactic levels Each package performed least well when translating from German However, all texts generated are basically comprehensible Translate.google.com produced the best translations from French-> English, German -> English and, by a small margin, Swedish -> English

13 Conclusions Translate.google.com is the most appropriate choice of free online translation package for non-specialised end-users who wish to translate, and therefore understand, a text in excess of 150 words from French, German and Swedish into English

14 Thank you for listening!
