In one embodiment, a translator quality assurance system may rate a translation using a mapping chart. A data interfacemay access a translation dictionary matching a source language to a target language. A processormay map automatically a sentence pair having a source sentencein a source language and a target sentencein a target language at a linguistic level using the translation dictionary. A user output devicemay display a translation quality report of the target sentence

Phrase-based dictionary extraction and translation quality evaluation

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for matching a target string to a known string. A target string is broken into one or more target terms, and the one or more target terms are matched to known terms in an index tree. The index tree comprises one or more known terms from a plurality of known strings, where the respective known terms in the index tree are associated with one or more known string IDs. A known term that is associated with a known string ID (in the index tree, and to which a target term is matched), is comprised in a known string, which corresponds to the known string ID. The target string can be matched to the known string using the known string's corresponding known string ID that is associated with a desired number of occurrences in the matching of the one or more target terms.

Matching target strings to known strings

Various embodiments provide a set of algorithms and scripts, e.g., SQL scripts, to perform automatic horizontal table and index partitioning that allows overlapping of data records, used in full-text search queries. In at least some embodiments, table creation and populating script is utilized to create a set of smaller tables partitioned by one column. In at least some embodiments, SELECT query modification script is provided to generate a query that works on the partitioned tables to achieve better performance. In at least some other embodiments, other query creation script is provided to modify the INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE queries for the original large table to automatically keep these queries synchronized with partitioned tables.

Database table partitioning allowing overlaps used in full text query

Input text may be broken into sentence, or other types of segments, by first detecting exceptions in the input text, and then detecting break positions. Given a segment breaking scheme that comprises a set of break rules and a set of exceptions, a regular expression is created that represents the break rules, and another regular expression is created that represents the exceptions. The input text is analyzed to identify strings that match any exception, and the matching strings are substituted with placeholders that are not likely to occur naturally in the input. The resulting text, with substitutions, is then evaluated to find the positions in the text that match the break rules. Those positions are declared to be segment breaks, and the placeholders are then replaced with the original strings. The result is the original text, with breaks assigned to the appropriate positions in the text.
