NOT 'A CASE that the' European Year of Dialogue Inteculturale just opened in Ljubljana, coincides with the publication of a unique database that makes it freely accessible to the public 1 million sentences translated into 22 of the 23 official EU languages \u200b\u200b(missing only the Gaelic). The dialogue, including the intercultural, implies a direct form of communication, As is clear in the Declaration of Leonard Orban, Commissioner for Multilingualism, "With this initiative the European Commission intends to boost human language technologies, support multilingualism and make computer-assisted translation easier, cheaper, common." In summary, this is a translation memory composed of short phrases that can be used for several purposes:
1) produce lexical and semantic resources in one or more languages, such as dictionaries and glossaries;
2) automatically check consistency of the translation;
3) compare the translated sentences;
4) development of other linguistic software tools come i controllori grammaticali e ortografici;
5) realizzare sistemi di classificazione di testi multilingui;
6) affidarsi all'attendibilità del software.
Niente di riconducibile ai vari tarduttori automatici che fluttuano nel mare magnum di internet e che spesso ci fanno sorridere per la loro incapacità di "interpetare" il significato di una parola all'interno di un contesto comunicativo. Memorabile è uno degli esempi riportati da Umberto Eco, quando una delle sue divertite incursioni nei sistemi di traduzione automatica produsse questo obbrobrio lessicale: "the fans of the Pope" trasformato in: "I ventilatori del Papa".
Questa "memoria" si basa sulla traduzione più vasta del mondo, number of languages \u200b\u200binvolved and the amount of combinations in parallel (eg, Czech-Estonian, Slovenian-Finnish). In fact, the translation services of the Commission work with 253 language pair combinations and produce around 1.5 million translated pages a year. The institutions of the EU, thanks to close cooperation between their translators and scientists, is therefore making available to all citizens of the corpora consist of large collections of sentences from legal documents, technical, political, social. economic, legal, etc.. From a strictly professional point of view, Joseph Manganaro, representative of the Directorate General for Translation of the European Commission (Italian) specifies that "the translator can use the statements in an interactive way, in the sense that for each sentence of the document to be translated, the system proposes a translation from those that already exist in memory. The translator is of course free to use the phrase the proposal as it stands or to modify it to suit the different context or just to improve their style. "
