Based on our experience as translation professionals, LogiTerm offers a
unique integrated solution for managing three sources of information in parallel:
terminology banks, archives (source texts, translations and reference material),
and a new source of invaluable information, the bitext. It allows a more efficient
consultation of terms and texts, a more consistent use of terminology and
phraseology through term extraction, identification of internal and external repetitions at sentence-level, and pretranslation. Featuring the best alignment tool,
LogiTerm is also web-enabled and complemented by an alignment robot. Both
affordable and compatible with other CAT tools, it is your best investment.

GLOSSARY
A
AMT. Automated Machine Translation (AMT) and Caterpillar Technical
English (CTE) are development project collaborations between Caterpillar,
Inc., and Carnegie Mellon University to further improve the creation and
translation of technical documentation into three core languages: Spanish,
French and German.
ANSI. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is an organization
of American industry groups that work with other nations to develop standards in facilitating telecommunications, character encoding and international trade.
API (application programming interface). A software interface that
enables applications to communicate with each other. An API is the set of
programming language constructs or statements that can be coded in an
application program to obtain the specific functions and services provided by
an underlying operating system or service program.
ASCII. The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is
the worldwide standard for the code numbers used by computers to represent
all the uppercase and lowercase Latin letters, numbers, punctuation and
other symbols.
ASP (application service provider). A service, usually a business,
that provides remote access to an application program across a network
protocol, typically HTTP. A common example is a website that other websites use for accepting payment by credit card as part of its online ordering
systems.
Abductive Reasoning. In artificial intelligence and philosophy, reasoning
based on possible or hypothesized causes or explanations. It involves inferring the best or most plausible explanation from a given set of facts or data.
Agglutination. In linguistics, combining short words or word elements
into a single word in order to express compound ideas.
Automatic Content Enrichment (ACE). A bridge between single language websites and localization, ACE technology associates English words
and phrases on web pages with pop-ups containing information in a user’s
native language.
45
GLOSSARY
B
Back Translation. The process of translating a document that has already
been translated into another language back to the original language —
preferably by an independent translator.
Bidirectional Text (bidi). A mixture of characters within a text where
some are read from left to right and others from right to left. Bidirectional
or bidi refers to an application which allows for this variance.
Bidirectional (writing system). A writing system in which text is generally flush right, and most characters are written from right to left, but some
text is written left-to-right as well. Arabic and Hebrew are the only bidirectional writing systems in current use.
Big5. The name of the Chinese character set and encoding used extensively
in Taiwan. Big5 is not a national standard, but is equivalent to the first two
planes of CNS 11643-1992.
Byte Order Mark (BOM). A Unicode character that indicates the byte
order of the Unicode text that follows.
C
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). An external format that determines the
layout of tagged file formats such as HTML.
CAT. Computer-aided translation (CAT) describes computer technology
applications which assist in the act of translating text from one language
to another.
Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). While not precisely defined, this
term refers here to the European countries east of Germany and south to the
Balkan states.
CESU-8. Similar to UTF-8, CESU-8 is a way of representing Unicode text.
CESU-8 uses six bytes for supplementary characters and is not appropriate
for data interchange.
Character. The smallest component of written language that has semantic
value. A printed or written letter or symbol. In computing, the binary code
used to represent a letter or symbol.
Character Set or Charset. A defined set of characters used by a specific
computer system where no coded representation is assumed. The mapping
of characters from a writing system into a set of binary codes such as ANSI
or Unicode.
CID (character identifier). The key used to access outline (glyph) data
in CID-keyed fonts.
CJKV. The abbreviation for the languages Chinese, Japanese, Korean and
Vietnamese.
CNS. The Chinese National Standard (CNS) 11643-1992 defines a total of
48,027 characters and applies the EUC-TW (extended UNIX code-Taiwan) to
one-, two- and four-byte encoding.
Code Page. A table which defines the numeric index (computer code point
value) associated with each character in a specific set of characters. Each
character in a code page has a numerical index.
Code Sweep. A special tool that scans program code to identify areas
where character encoding will cause problems. Newer, internationalized
code anticipates these problems.
Computational Linguistics. The engineering of systems that process or
analyze written or spoken natural language. It is concerned with the computational aspects of the human language. Its goal is to provide computers with
the ability to produce and interpret human language.
Computer-based Training (CBT). A form of education in which the
student learns by executing special training programs on a computer.
Content Management System (CMS). A system used to store and
subsequently find and retrieve large amounts of data. CMSs were not originally designed to synchronize translation and localization of content, so most
have been partnered with globalization management systems (GMS).
Controlled Language. Language with a restricted vocabulary and restricted rules of formulation. Used, for example, in technical documentation to
make the text easier to understand for users or for nonnative speakers and to
facilitate translation. Refers also to Common Logic Controlled English (CLCE)
where the design goal is to stay as close as possible to precise, carefully written English while supporting automated translation to first-order logic.
Controlled Vocabulary. The standardization of words which may be
used to search an index, abstract or information database. There is usually a published listing or thesaurus of preferred terms identifying the system’s vocabulary.
46
Corpus (pl. Corpora). A large body of natural language text used for
accumulating statistics on natural language text. Corpora often include extra
information such as a tag for each word indicating its part-of-speech and
perhaps the parse tree for each sentence.
CTE. Caterpillar Technical English (CTE) consists of a controlled vocabulary (approximately 80,000 technical terms) and all of the English grammatical structures required when writing technical documentation. CTE ensures
that AMT is able to translate what authors write in English.
D
Diacritic. A mark or sign placed under, over or through a Latin script
character which indicates a modification in the phonetic value of the character with which it is associated.
Diaspora. A dispersion of a people from their original homeland or the dispersion of an originally homogeneous entity, such as a language or culture.
Diphthong. A complex speech sound or glide that begins with one vowel
sound and gradually changes to another within the same syllable, such as
coin, loud and side.
Disambiguation. The process of rewriting or reconstructing a sentence
so that one of its possible meanings is singled out.
Domain. A knowledge domain that a user is interested in or is communicating about. A group of computers or devices that shares a common directory database and is administered as a unit.
Dongle. A security or copy-protection device for commercial computer
programs. Programs can use a dongle query at the start of a program to
determine if the registration is valid and to terminate if the correct code is
not present.
DTD. Document Type Definition (DTD) states what tags and attributes are
used to describe content in an SGML document, where each tag is allowed,
and which tags can appear within other tags.
E
E-learning. The use of internet technology for learning outside of a physical classroom.
Embedded Media. Media that can be included in an HTML page, such as
RealAudio files or GIF animations. Web browsers use multipurpose internet
mail extensions (MIME types), a specification for formatting these nonASCII messages so that they can be sent over the internet. When a browser
finds a file in an HTML document with a MIME extension such as .gif, the
browser knows to display that file as an image. Many e-mail clients also
support MIME.
Embedded System. Hardware and software which make up a component
of a larger system, often for real-time response, that is expected to function
without human intervention.
Encoding Scheme. Rules for assigning numeric value (code points) to
characters. Encoding is a method by which a character set is turned into
computerized form for transmission and preservation.
Enterprise Application Interface (EAI). Created to facilitate the flow
of information and to connect transactions among distributed and complex
applications and business processes within enterprises.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). An amalgamation of a company’s
information systems so that data from various functions such as human
resources, inventories and financials are bound together and linked to customers and vendors.
European. Refers to languages such as English, French, Russian and Greek
which use single-byte encoding schemes for their alphabets.
Extended UNIX Code (EUC). A multibyte encoding design used to
encode Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese on UNIX systems.
F
FIGS. An abbreviation for the languages French, Italian, German and Spanish.
Free Text. Data which is entered into a field without any formal or predefined structure other than the normal use of grammar and punctuation.
FTP. File transfer protocol (FTP) is a common way to move files between
host computers and sometimes personal computers.
Full Match. A source text segment which corresponds exactly (100%)
with a previously stored sentence in a translation memory (TM) tool.
Fuzzy Match. Refers to the situation when a sentence or phrase in a translation memory (TM) is similar (but not a 100% match) to the sentence or
GLOSSARY
phrase the translator is currently working on. The TM tool calculates the
degree of similarity (or “fuzziness”) as a percentage figure.
G
GB 18030. A non-Unicode code page extending the traditional Chinese
standard and containing room for 1.6 million characters. GB 18030 can
include one-, two- or four-byte characters and includes support for
Mongolian, Tibetan, Yi and Uyghur, as well as all previously supported
Chinese scripts.

“pseudo-strings.” The resulting “pseudo-language” is designed to test the
impact that different aspects of localization have on the product’s functionality and appearance.
Pseudo-translation. Similar to a test run which seeks to copy the translation process rather than actually produce a translation. A text string is taken
and put through a translation-like process which alters it and produces a
new string. The text string is frequently changed as a result of this process,
so pseudo-translation is done to illustrate the potential problems that may
occur when the translation is actually done.
N

This editorial index and resource directory is produced annually to complement
MultiLingual Computing & Technology. It
provides a guide to the editorial content of
the magazine for the preceeding year and a
comprehensive list of companies which
engage in the businesses associated with
that content, roughly divided into the following categories:
level; changing the requirements for international software; and changing how business is done all over the world.
MultiLingual Computing & Technology
is your source for the best information and
insight into these developments and how
they will affect you and your business.
Translation
Every Web site is a global Web site, and
even a site designed for one country may
require several languages to be effective.
Experienced Web professionals explain
how to create a site that works for users
everywhere, how to attract those users to
your site and how to keep it current.
Whether you use the Internet and World
Wide Web for e-mail, for purchasing
services, for promoting your business
or for conducting fully international ecommerce, you’ll benefit from the information and ideas in each issue of MultiLingual
Computing & Technology.
How are translation tools changing
the art and science of communicating ideas
and information between speakers of different languages? Translators are vital to
the development of international and
localized software. Those who specialize in
technical documents, such as manuals for
computer hardware and software, industrial equipment and medical products, use
sophisticated tools along with professional
expertise to translate complex text clearly
and precisely. Translators and people who
use translation services track new developments through articles and news items in
MultiLingual Computing & Technology.
Language Technology
From multiple keyboard layouts and
input methods to Unicode-enabled operating systems, language-specific encodings,
systems that recognize your handwriting or
your speech in any language — language
technology is changing day by day. And this
technology is also changing the way in
which people communicate on a personal
Global Web
Managing Content
How do you track all the words and the
changes that occur in a multilingual Web
site? How do you know who’s doing what
and where? How do you respond to customers and vendors in a prompt manner
and in their own languages? The growing
and changing field of content management
and global management systems (CMS and
GMS), customer relations management
(CRM) and other management disciplines
is increasingly important as systems become

more complex. Leaders in the development
of these systems explain how they work and
how they work together.
Inter nationalization
Making software ready for the international market requires more than just a good
idea. How does an international developer
prepare a product for multiple locales? Will
the pictures and colors you select for a user
interface in France be suitable for users in
Brazil? Elements such as date and currency
formats sound like simple components, but
developers who ignore the many international variants find that their products may
be unusable. You’ll find sound ideas and
practical help in every issue.
Localization
How can you make your product look
and feel as if it were built in another country for users of that language and culture?
How do you choose a localization service
vendor? Developers and localizers offer
their ideas and relate their experiences with
practical advice that will save you time and
money in your localization projects.
And Ther e’s Much Mor e
Authors with in-depth knowledge
summarize changes in the language industry and explain its financial side, describe
the challenges of computing in various languages, explain and update encoding
schemes and evaluate software and systems. Other articles focus on particular
countries or regions; translation and localization training programs; the uses of language technology in specific industries — a
wide array of current topics from the world
of multilingual computing.
Nine times a year, readers of MultiLingual Computing & Technology explore
language technology and its applications,
project management, basic elements and
advanced ideas with the people and companies who are building the future.
