Tradares: A Tool for the Automatic Evaluation of Human Translation Quality within a MOOC Environment

Figures & data

Table

Amount of edition necessary for the translation to be acceptable: How many editing should be needed in order to turn it into a working translation? (it captures the meaning of the text from the source language to the target language)

1. Almost everything should be edited. It is necessary to translate the text again. This translation does not serve its purpose.

2. A significant amount of edition is needed, but it is not necessary to translate again. It is faster to edit than to start the translation again.

3. Little edition is needed. The translation we are evaluating serves its purpose. Some changes are still needed to deem it acceptable.

4. There is no need to edit. The translation serves its purpose. There is no need to make any change or maybe just some cosmetic changes.
