Advanced Features to Fine-Tune Machine Translation Output

To improve the Machine Translation output, Intento offers multiple fine-tuning features, such as:

  • Content Moderation

  • Same Language Detection

  • Non-translatable Markup

  • Linebreak Character Handling

  • Punchuation Correction

  • Tone of Voice Control

  • Abbrevations

  • Redaction

Content Moderation

Add content moderation (i.e., profanity filtering) in the translation pipeline to check MT output for profane words, hate speech, racism, etc., and act according to the company's policy (return a note with translation, mark, or delete profanity, etc.).

Same Language Detection

Exclude parts of the source text from translation requests when the detected source language is the same as the target language. This reduces the cost of translation.

English
It s like a famous German song says: Neunundneunzig Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont

German
Wie ein berühmtes deutsches Lied sagt: Neunundneunzig Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont

Non-translatable Markup

Use specific markups in translation requests to highlight any content that should remain unchanged in translations.

Where [[non translatable text]]:

English
All products are marked with "[[Made in the USA]]".

German
Alle Produkte sind mit "Made in the USA" gekennzeichnet.

Linebreak Characters Handling

Process linebreak characters in the source text more flexibly to increase the quality of MT output (i.e., ignore linebreaks or preserve them when necessary).

English
All tools you need for this procedure <br />
you can find it in the bottom tray.

German
Alle Werkzeuge, die Sie für dieses Verfahren benötigen, <br />
finden Sie im unteren Fach.

Punctuation Correction

Make fully configurable punctuation corrections in the source text and the translation to increase the output quality (i.e., remove or insert spaces before punctuation). Gender bias correction and original language improvement.

English
This is what I call "a perfect vacation."

French
C'est ce que j'appelle « des vacances parfaites ».

Tone of Voice Control

Set a specific tone of voice (formal/informal) for translations into relevant languages. This can also work with providers that do not natively support the tone of voice control.

English
Please kindly reboot the printer.

German (formal)
Bitte starten Sie den Drucker neu.

German (informal)
Bitte starte den Drucker neu.

Abbreviations

Detect abbreviations in the source text according to the user's dictionary and expand them before sending for translation to make machine translations more precise.

Dictionary
n8 = Nacht

German
Gute n8.

English
Good night.

Redaction

Detect personal data (i.e., names, addresses, bank details, etc.) in the source text with internal or third-party AI services and replace the data with dummy values to comply with data protection requirements.

English
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

English (pseudonymized)
Hello. My name is John Smith. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
