 Truth About Translation 

 
 
TRUTH ABOUT TRANSLATION 2.0 animated text show, Enhanced Version gives much information, exposes myths about translating/interpreting/computers. New menu-driven version uses humor to explain complex language problems, presents famous quotations about translation over 2,500 years PLUS hilarious "Translation Bloopers" by man & machine PLUS humorous/insightful ideas on how both language & translation truly work. Combines practical & theoretical knowledge about language to provide a basis for understanding what is involved in translating and why many computer-based solutions can fall short. Quotations on translation from Ancient Sumeria to Molecular Biology show how culture-dependent both translation and our belief in "meaning" can turn out to be. Many human & machine Bloopers highlight the fragile nature of understanding by both species. Provides an in-depth look at thorny problems of applied linguistics over time, in many cultures, and in many branches of learning. Most of this material has never been presented in any linguistics or translation text, and much has never before been translated into English. Sure to interest computer pros & others concerned with natural language problems. Can be run as animation or printed out. Single sections can be run individually. Shareware, full version $12 for individuals, has twice as many quotations, three times as many Bloopers, contains quiz feature, extra program on machine translation problems, bibliography & scholarly apparatus. Special price for Institutions. SOME EXAMPLES OF TRANSLATION BLOOPERS PRESENTED IN THIS PROGRAM: *** Sign in a Bucharest hotel lobby: "The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable. *** Sign in a Jordanian tailor's shop: Because is big rush, we will execute cutomers in strict rotation." *** Beneath a Japanese tailor's shop: "Ladies will have fits upstairs." Many, many more Bloopers included. See above for program description. Company: Cross-Cultural Research Projects

 Textanz 

 
 
Textanz analyzes all types of text content and provides the user with a list or dictionary of the words, phrases, and grammar forms, and their frequency of use within the text. The information you receive from a Textanz analysis enables you to check for excessive use or repetition of words or phrases within any document. Textanz provides a vital editing function that is missing from most standard grammar-check and editing programs. Critical first impressions of you, your project, your resume, your report, or your company, often come from your written word. Writers and editors in all fields from marketing to technical reports to best-selling fiction need Textanz to help them identify word or phrase overuse or repetition. Software developers, web masters, and writers who prepare content for the Internet will find Textanz a valuable tool to help them choose keywords and key word phrases for improved optimization of webpages within the search engines, or for searching for repeating fragments of program source code. As a reader, you can use Textanz to help you examine an author’s most frequently used words and phrases and better understand his purpose and writing objectives. The frequency dictionary created by a Textanz analysis enables you to form a stylistic portrait of the writer. In linguistics, this data is unique to authors in much the same way as handwriting is unique to an individual. Textanz benefits at a glance : - word/phrase frequency calculation ; - building the concordance ; - calculating summary parameters ; - export to CSV(Excel); - flexible calculation options; Company: Cro-Code Software
