Basics

1

This section describes the flow of translation work using translation memory, 

which allows you to use ATLAS more effectively. 

Translation by ATLAS can be divided into the following four basic steps.

1 Preparing the source text

ATLAS translates electronic sentence data from the source language into the target 
language.

2 Pre-editing

Before starting translation, review and pre-edit the source text. This step involves writing 
original text that is optimized for translation. Pre-editing is an effective way to boost 
translation quality.

 

Pre-editing includes:

●

Defining the separation between sentences

●

Re-writing complicated sentences into plain sentences

●

Dividing long sentences into shorter sentences

●

Correcting typos and syntax errors

3 Translation

ATLAS translates the source text into the target language.  ATLAS has the following 
functions.

●

Translation of English text into Japanese text and vice versa.

●

Translation Editor, Clipboard Translation, Web Translation functions, and Application 
Translation.

●

Use of the technical and User Dictionaries.

●

Changing the translation environment style and the translation method.

4 Post-editing

Review and post-edit the translated text. This step involves checking and completing the 
translation. Post-editing is an effective way to boost translation quality.

 

Post-editing includes:

●

Checking the translated text for legibility

●

Checking the translated text for syntax errors

Create the source text 
by entering data in 
your PC.  

Read printed text using a scanner 
and convert it into character data 
using OCR software.
