ElanexHYBRID™: the Budget-Constrained Hybrid System
ElanexHYBRID™, Elanex’s Budget-Constrained Hybrid System, combines the best of human translation and machine translation, to give you predictable budget, dramatically-reduced cost, and maximum quality where needed.
With traditional translation, budget is tied to volume
Traditionally, translation volume has had a direct link to translation budget. In order to obtain more translation, a directly proportional increase in budget was necessary. A limited budget always resulted in a limited amount of translation, quality of translated text was not affected unless that text was directly handled by a human, and some content remained untranslated.
With ElanexHYBRID™, budget controls are independent of volume
ElanexCOLT™'s Budget-Constrained Hybrid System intelligently combines machine translation and human translation so that budget can be flexibly managed by the client as an independent variable.
- Everything is translated: COLT™ automation enables cost-efficient translation of all content from the start. Nothing is left untranslated. Additional budget simply improves the quality of all translations.
- Key content is identified for translation: Some key files, more than others, would be most crucial to quality improvement throughout all files and used to improve COLT™. Additional files can be identified for human translation because they are most-read or most-requested by users.
- All human translation improves the quality of all output: COLT™ will continuously learn from every human translation that is performed and input into the system. Human translations input into COLT™ will improve all other translations in the following ways:
- More Dictionary Server results: key terms are translated correctly every time, and glossary creation and maintenance comes standard with all Elanex human translation
- More exact matches in the Inventory™: entire segments that have been translated perfectly will automatically be translated perfectly wherever they reappear
- More Extrapolated Matches™: segments that are similar to exact matches in the Inventory™ can be accurately translated by Elanex’s Translation Extrapolation™ Engine
- Customized training of the Machine Translation (MT) Engine: segments without exact or extrapolated matches in the Inventory™ will receive improved machine translation
