Bi-text : toward a new generation of support tools for translation and terminology / Pierre Isabelle.: Co28-1/105-1993E-PDF

"Existing translator's workstations still provide very little support for the central and defining aspects of the translator's task. The concept of bi-text is shown to open entirely new possibilities for such workstations. 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. Algorithms have already been developed to automatically produce a (partial) bi-text representation of a text and its translation. CITI is currently developing prototype concordancing and translation critiquing tools"--Abstract.
