Systems and methods for translating a source segment are disclosed. In embodiments, a computer-implemented method for translating a source segment comprises receiving, by a computing device, the source segment in a first language to be translated into a second language; identifying, by the computing device, linguistic markers within the source segment and associated noise values to produce a tagged source segment, wherein the linguistic markers are associated with one or more linguistic patterns likely to introduce noise into a translation channel; transforming, by the computing device, the tagged source segment into an amplified source segment; and sending, by the computing device, the amplified source segment to a machine translation module, wherein the machine translation module is configured to process the amplified source segment to produce a return amplified match in the second language.

Translation synthesizer for analysis, amplification and remediation of linguistic data across a translation supply chain

A method for translation supply chain analytics includes receiving operational variables of a translation process from a translation supply chain. The method further includes determining a cognitive leverage and a productivity factor for post editing of matches of a plurality of match types generated by the translation supply chain based at least in part on the operational variables from the translation supply chain. The method further includes generating linguistic markers for the matches of the plurality of match types generated by the translation supply chain, based at least in part on the cognitive leverage and the productivity factor for the post editing of the matches of the plurality of match types. The method further includes performing statistical analysis of the linguistic markers for the matches of the plurality of match types. The method further includes generating one or more analytics outputs based on the statistical analysis of the linguistic markers.

Statistical process control and analytics for translation supply chain operational management

An approach is provided in which a linguistic analyzer engine generates a leverage value of a language translation supply chain that corresponds to an amount of suggested translations that are accepted by a professional linguist. The linguistic analyzer engine generates a factor value of the language translation supply chain that indicates a productivity of the user to convert the set of accepted translation into a set of final translations. In turn, the linguistic analyzer engine determines a performance efficiency of the language translation supply chain based upon the generated leverage value and the generated factor value, and evaluates the language translation supply chain accordingly. In one embodiment, the linguistic analyzer engine determines a performance efficiency of the language translation supply chain based on 'n' distinct metric values associated with final translated segments.
