Rodrigo Demetrio18 Nov 2024·🎙️ What's LatestTo Copy or Not to Copy: Writing and Translation in the Age of AI | LocWorld 52 Monterey HighlightsCan AI make creative content? Should we trust it to translate important ideas? Can AI make original content? What's the difference between data, information, and knowledge? Should we focus on the reader or just on translating words? Can AI personalize messages without losing meaning? Is "quality" more important, or is keeping people interested the key? Will content someday change instantly for each person? Let us know your thoughts!YouTube
Rodrigo Demetrio15 Nov 2024·🎙️ What's LatestCan Machine Make Us More Human? Global Saké 2024In this talk from 'Machines That Make Us More Human' at Global Saké, Gabriel Fairman talks with Luciano Arruda and Wada’a Fahel about how AI and automation are changing the translation workflow. They explain how technology can help people instead of replacing them. For example, they share stories about helping single mothers in Japan learn and how Harley-Davidson uses talent from around the world to make creative content. Through these real-life examples, they explore how to balance the human touch with machine help in business today.YouTube
Rodrigo Demetrio15 Nov 2024·📣 Product UpdatesSupport for PDF, Kanban Terminology, and moreFor this workshop, we had a special guest, Jan Hinrichs, who spoke with us about our latest features. See the full update here: https://www.bureauworks.com/blog/november-update-2024 We’ve been busy behind the scenes (or maybe not that behind—since we attended 4 events in the last 30 days!) working on some updates we think you’ll find useful. PDFs are now supported. Project Routing is here to save you time when working with multiple teams, and we’ve added 24 new API endpoints. Check out what’s new below! Welcome PDF! Join us in celebrating the newest member to our 50+ supported file types club. Here’s why our PDF approach stands out: Smooth process : No file conversion needed. Fewer steps, more productivity. More secure : Skip sketchy editors and centralize content in one place. Trusted quality : Powered by Adobe’s engine, because our engineers always choose the best. Check out Jamil, our Director of Product, who demonstrated PDF uploads in our workshop: [Watch Here]. Remember, PDFs are just one of the many file types we support. You can also use our plugins or API for seamless integration. Save Time with Our New Project Routing Global companies often work with multiple languages and several translation agencies, making translation management a complex task. Think about the effort it takes to set up individual projects for each agency. For instance, creating 10 separate projects for 10 agencies quickly becomes a time-consuming process. That's where Project Routing comes in. Now, you only need to set up all the project settings once, and it will automatically route each project to the appropriate team . This streamlines your workflow, saving time and reducing repetitive tasks. 24 New Endpoints in Our API We’ve added 24 new endpoints to our public API, allowing you to expand your integrations and customizations even further. These new endpoints focus on users, organizations, organizational units, payables, and costs. Check it out in our developer area. New capabilities for the Terminology Kanban Our terminology Kanban has been well received by clients, and our engineers are focused on making your experience even better. This month, we’ve expanded its capabilities to enable easy bulk modifications. Introducing hourly charging options Charging per word is one of the sacred standards in our industry, so let’s shake things up and offer more flexibility for translation businesses to get what they want. Previously, pricelists only charged per word—now both words and hours are available. Context Sensitivity in Logfiles Alright, brace yourselves for some beloved Loc Tech jargon! We’ve added a new column in our post-analysis logfile to show translations that use our Context Sensitivity feature. Now, instead of grouping everything under 100% TM matches , the logfile clearly shows where Context Sensitivity has been applied. I can’t decide whether to feel proud of my fluency in localization tech or start rethinking simpler ways to explain this! Okay, I’d feel guilty if I didn’t share the Explanation of Terms: Post-Analysis : This refers to the step after translation is completed, where data is analyzed to see how much content was reused, edited, or needed special handling. It’s a report that helps track translation quality and efficiency. Logfile : Think of a logfile as a detailed record of the translation process. It shows what’s been translated, or reused. Context Sensitivity : Bureau Works’ Context Sensitive Translate feature combines information from translation memories, machine translations, glossaries, and past translation decisions into a single stream. It adapts as the translator works, learning to deliver content that matches the style and tone of previous translations. 100% TM Matches : Translation Memory (TM) stores segments that have been translated before, so if a new segment exactly matches one of these, it’s called a 100% match. This means the content can be reused without changes, saving time. In our new setup, instead of grouping context-sensitive translations with these exact matches, we make them distinct for easier tracking. More Terminology Added the option to send terms or concepts directly from the glossary screen to Kanban. Dynamic Feed: Your Extra Pair of Eyes Dynamic Feed helps you focus on what truly deserves your attention—whether it’s a project nearing its deadline or an important comment. Like a project assistant, it's always nudging you about the essentials. Now available for multiple profiles, including vendors. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey! Your feedback has helped shape these updates, and we’re excited to make things easier for you. Is there anything you liked most?YouTube
Rodrigo Demetrio8 Nov 2024·🎙️ What's LatestAs AI gets better, how will translators get paid what they’re worth? Insights from ATA PortlandI've rarely seen a session at the ATA (American Translators Association) with the level of audience engagement we witnessed in this talk at ATA 52 in Portland—it was incredible! With a packed room and people standing all around, it was clear that the topic of fair pay in the age of AI is crucial for translators. As AI tools improve and reduce the need for edits, translators are left with important questions: How can they be fairly paid for the unique quality they add? Will the roles of translator, editor, and proofreader blend into one? How can we measure the real impact of a translation? How can translators access insights to show the value of their work? This discussion wasn’t about introducing new ideas, but about bringing translators together to explore practical solutions for a profession we all value deeply.YouTube
