The TC Symposium (Kyoto) lecture "Perspectives Needed for Future Manuals" and "Introduction and Process of Machine Translation" has concluded successfully.

The presentation at the TC Symposium 2014, held in Kyoto from October 15 (Wednesday) to October 17 (Friday), organized by the Technical Communicators Association, has successfully concluded.

Human Science presented in two sessions: "Perspectives Needed for Future Manuals" and "Introduction and Process of Machine Translation".

"Perspectives Needed for Future Manuals" will feature technical writer Yasuda presenting "Two Perspectives Necessary for Manual Evaluation."

We had 63 manual representatives from manufacturers and production companies, significantly exceeding the capacity of 30 people.

Participants' Voices

- The perspective of using external viewpoint manuals has been organized for evaluation and processes.

・The discussion about Japanese text based on machine translation was good

・There are examples of Japanese that are prone to mistranslation, which were helpful.

- Understood the precautions when expanding overseas

・Felt the necessity of external perspective (the user's perspective) and internal perspective (the creator's perspective)

　　

"Introduction and Process of Machine Translation" will feature Honda, a Japanese-English and multilingual translation coordinator, presenting on "the basic workflow and considerations of machine translation, as well as the content of effectiveness verification through machine translation." 18 participants involved in translation operations from manufacturers and translation companies attended.

Participants' Voices

・Understood the importance of pre-editing and post-editing

- It was good that the points were clearly organized based on real examples.

- The specific examples of pre-editing and the explanation of the verification results were helpful.
