1 Metadata in Translation Tools: Importance, Usage, Storage, Transfer Angelika Zerfaß & Richard Sikes

2 Metadata is... Data that describes other data. It provides information about a certain item's content.

3 Some Examples from everyday life Book Author Genre Subject Length When written Summary Location Key words Graphic File: How large Color depth Image resolution When created File name Description Key words

4 Data vs Metadata

5 Metadata in Localization What kind of metadata can be provided throughout the localization process? Where and how can it be used? How well does it transfer between tools?

6 Metadata in Translation Tools Information about the translation itself Creation date User who created the translation User who created the translation databases TMs, Term bases... status information about the file in translation (is the translation confirmed, does it come from a TM, automated translation, Alignment

7 Uses Metadata within one TM system: Categorize translated content within one translation memory system Influence the match rates during translation.

8 Transfer between Tools Different translation tool components use different exchange formats. Translation memories are exchanged via TMX (Translation Memory Exchange format). Terminology data is exchanged via CSV or TBX (Term Base Exchange format). While the segment pairs of source segment plus translated segment can be exchanged via XLIFF or a customized version thereof.

9 Where does Metadata Reside? In the header of exchange file formats like TMX, XLIFF, TBX Administrative data user defined data (name of TM, path where XLIFF was saved to ) On the translation unit/term level of the exchange files Administrative data (who and when) Process data (coming from alignment ) categorization data (pre-defined and customer fields) Inside segments (formatting )

10 More detailed used for Metadata Searching for segments in a TM Searching for terms in a term base Filtering for segments during translation (prefer / penalize, i.e. decrease match rate) TM clean-up TM splitting (filter during export) Term base splitting (filter during export)

11 Details Metadata in TMs TM level data Administrative data (name, who, when) Pre-defined categories (subject, client ) if the tool so provides Document level data with corpus based tools TU level data Administrative (created when and by who) Process data (TU comes from alignment ) Custom categories

12 Our Tests Create TM with custom metadata fields Add translations to TM with field information Export to TMX Import into different tool What metadata transfers well, what doesn t

33 Tests Create a TM with translations from one specific file format like, HTML, DOC, InDesign, XML Export to TMX and import into another tool Run a translation of the exact same file used to create the first TM Match rates differ greatly depending on file format used to create the TM Because different segmentation rules are applied Because inline tags are not recognized or interpreted differently or were not imported at all during TMX exchange
