When Translation Requires Interpretation: Collaborative Computer-Assisted Translation of Ancient Texts

Abstract

This paper introduces the main features of Traduco, a Web-based, collaborative Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tool developed to support the translation of ancient texts. In addition to the standard components offered by traditional CAT tools, Traduco includes a number of features designed to ease the translation of ancient texts, such as the Babylonian Talmud, posing specific structural, stylistic, linguistic and hermeneutical challenges. c 2015 Association for Computational Linguistics and The Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing.
