Automatic evaluation of legal translation between languages of lesser diffusion

Vol.33,No.2(2019)

Abstract
In this contribution, problems of assessing legal translations and its objectivity will be discussed. Objective assessment proves to be a difficult issue in particular when assessing rare language combinations, such as Slovak – Dutch or Dutch – Czech, since not so much competent translators and assessors are available in these combinations. In this context, we propose a method based on the PIE method and Segers' and Kockaert's benchmark method, which, by means of a consensus ratio, can significantly increase the objectivity of text assessments.

Keywords:
legal translation; evaluation; assessment; languages of lesser diffusion; consensus ratio; benchmarks; objectivity
