For the purpose of “providing solutions to make European digital services multilingual”, the European Union has earmarked EUR 4 million for Automated Translation in the latest CEF call for proposals.
In 2020, there will be six new projects supported under the Connecting Europe Facility in the Telecom sector. Although the new Generic Services Projects are different in terms of focus and activities, they are all pursuing the same goal, i.e. to improve and facilitate multilingual communication.
The NEC TM Data project, which ran from September 2018 to February 2020, aimed to increase the amount of parallel language data within the EU, to promote the flow of translation data, and to lower translation costs.
The Automated Post-editing and Quality Estimation (APE-QUEST) project funded by the EC’s CEF Telecom programme provides a first quality gate and crowdsourcing workflow for the CEF eTranslation machine translation (MT) system. The quality gate is implemented by injecting quality estimation (QE) and automated post-editing (APE) into the existing translation workflow. QE and APE may both be applied to the output of eTranslation or to the crowdsourced translation.
