Processing of segments (before and after machine translation)

When segments are the text parsed using a file format configuration is prepared for machine translation, the following processing is applied to the segments:

  1. The text in the source language of the segment and its markup are further prepared to maximize the chances of getting the integrity of the content translated by the MT provider. The markup in the string is further converted into generic HTML markup to make it machine compatible.

  2. The new converted string is sent to the MT provider chosen, as per MT profile configuration.

  3. Once the MT provider generates the MT output, the Wordbee Translator verifies if the markup obtained in the output is valid as per the initial MT request. It checks if the translation generated by the MT provider has done the following:

    1. returned all markup

    2. the markup was correctly placed
      Wordbee Translator has several mechanisms that allow you to "roughly" fix any major markup issues. These aim at doing accurate translations and preventing problems when reconstructing the file with all translations, such as making the file readable in the first place.

  4. Finally, once the machine translation output is available and validated, the system needs to convert the HTML-based markup back to the style initially parsed in Wordbee Translator.
