Diplôme Master The Interest of Controlled Language in Machine Translation A Study Carried out on the Basis of the UEFA European Football Championship 2010-12 eng 2012 author Thoden Annika 725427 director Bouillon Pierrette 0000-0002-8854-6360 26962 The concrete idea for this study stemmed from the internship I carried out in the German section of the UEFA Language Services unit (SLAN) in summer 2011. SLAN's translation workflow is characterised by the use of a variety of CAT-tools (Translation Memory and terminology software, electronic dictionaries, etc.). Due to my prior knowledge of MT, I had the idea of examining whether it would be profitable for UEFA to translate certain texts using a MT system. Within the limited framework of this pilot projet, I narrowed the concrete goal of this Master's thesis down to evaluating the quality of MT output (direction of translation: English-German), i.e. examining whether UEFA regulations - after undergoing a control of the SL text - are suitable for MT using Systran, since the output quality is in any case the crucial factor for or against the implementation of a MT-based workflow.
