AI时代图书翻译出版的技术应用现状及展望

Translation Project Management:A New Challenge to Publishers

近年来我国图书翻译蓬勃发展,但是也暴露出翻译质量问题突出、翻译过程缺乏管理等问题。图书翻译是译者与出版社双方的互动流程;随着译者越来越关注翻译技术应用并借此提升翻译质量和翻译生产力,出版社应认识到AI技术背景下CAT和MT对于图书翻译能够带来辅助作用,智能数字化管理平台可以更细致地实现全流程的管理,从而帮助出版者主动应用AI技术及项目管理系统,提高图书的翻译效率和质量。这样做可以建立高质量、大规模的语料库和术语库,解决同题材图书翻译中耗时耗力的名词查证问题,让译者能够将更多精力分配到语言文字的理解和表达上,可以建立更高效的图书翻译管理模式,提高翻译质量;而结合了AI的图书翻译,也将为机器翻译提供更多的优质语料,促进AI在语言技术方面的发展。

In recent years,book translation in our country has been booming,but the practice has also exposed some problems,such as compromised translation quality and lack of management in the process of translation.This paper points out that book translation is an interactive process between translators and publishers;as more and more translators are paying much attention to the application of translation technology so as to improve the translation quality and productivity,publishers should realize that in the context of AI technology,CAT and MT can bring benefits to book translation.A digital management platform can help publishers implement thorough full-process management,and thus make them actively deploy AI technology and project management systems to improve the translation efficiency and quality.In doing so,high-quality,large-scale corpus and terminology databases can be established to solve the problem of time-consuming and laborious terminology verification in the translation of books of similar subjects,allowing translators to allocate more energy to the refinement of the translated works.In addition,by intergrating AI,this model can provide high quality translation memory materials for MT,promoting the capability of natural language process in AI.
