Translation for learning and development, or L&D, sees materials for corporate learning rendered into additional languages. For instance, an L&D department may create a corporate training course in their source language. But if they have a workforce spread across different countries, with various native languages, they may want to translate the course into the additional languages that the workforce speaks.
AI translation uses large language models, deep learning, and big data analytics technologies to translate content from one language into another. AI translation typically takes seconds or minutes.
Translation with Smartcat AI is done by uploading files for translation, choosing source and target languages, and clicking a button labeled “Translate”. The AI translation engine then performs the translation automatically.
Smartcat AI typically starts at approximately 85% accuracy. However, as it gets to know your preferred terminology and style – through automatically created and updated translation memories – accuracy can build to over 95% before long.
With Smartcat Editor, the platform’s internal computer-assisted translation tool, you can then review and edit the AI translation or invite colleagues to do so. You can also hire a subject matter expert translator from Smartcat Marketplace.
Smartcat automatically updates your glossaries and translation memories with every single edit that you make and confirm. Each subsequent translation immediately benefits from this augmented knowledge base.
All your content, including source and target files, is stored in a central record of multilingual content, within your private Smartcat workspace, which you can access at all times.
For your very first translation on Smartcat, you can upload your own translation glossary and memory to ensure that Smartcat AI Translation uses the right terminology. If you don’t have a glossary and memory to upload or simply want to start afresh, Smartcat automatically generates these assets for you on your first translation.
Later on, should you have multiple translation memories and glossaries on your Smartcat workspace, you can choose which of these assets to assign to each new translation project. As a result, you can always make sure that the right terminology is used.
You can also edit these translation assets manually if you ever want to make terminology changes.
Smartcat fully supports over 80 file formats, which is over twice as many as the vast majority of translation service providers. Popular formats that Smartcat supports include DOC, PDF, XLIFF, XML, INDD, XLS, AVI, MP4, and SRT.
To translate your courses from Articulate Rise 360 or Storyline 360, you have to first export them in XLIFF file format. Then, make sure that the translation management system that you use is XLIFF-compatible.
With Smartcat, you can translate XLIFF files in five steps.
