Globalese Documentation

Getting started

Welcome to Globalese! This page is here to help you get your system up and running as quickly as possible.

Corpora

A corpus is bilingual text aligned on the sentence level, and used in Globalese for training engines.

• Uploading corpora
• Importing corpora from CAT tool servers
• Stock corpora

Engines

Engines are trained from corpora and are used to translate text. They are unidirectional, i.e. have one source language and one target language.

• Creating an engine
• Updating an engine
• Training an engine
  • Full retraining vs quick training
• Stock engines
• Engine version
• Deploying engines
• Publishing engines

Document translation

Globalese accepts XLIFF files for translation, which need to be organised in projects. A project is a logical grouping of translatable files with the same language combination, with an engine assigned for translation.

Text translation using deployed engines

Custom engines can be turned on and off in the cloud to accept one or more sentences for translation in real-time. The text translation service scales up and down automatically, which means it can be used both for instant propagation in CAT tools and for API integration scenarios with high workloads.
