Bi-text : toward a new generation of support tools for translation and terminology / by Pierre Isabelle. : Co28-1/105-1993E
A bi-text is a pair of texts (a source and its translation) linked by a set of explicit translational correspondences. If translations are organized into bi-texts, a translation department's output can become a veritable corporate memory whose riches can be tapped using tools such as bilingual concordancing systems. Bi-text representations also provide the foundation for translation critiquing tools, capable, for example, of detecting the presence of deceptive cognates (faux amis) in a translation.--Abstract
