Beyond Siri: DARPA’s BOLTThe Broad Operational Language Technology Program (BOLT) has a goal of creating technology capable of translating multiple foreign languages in all genres, retrieving information from the translated material, and enabling bilingual communication via speech or text. Initial languages include up to 5 dialects of Arabic, plus Mandarin Chinese. The first 2 dialects will be addressed in Phases 1 and 2 of “Activity D”; the second 2 dialects will be addressed in Phases 3 and 4; and the final dialect will be addressed in Phase 5. In the field, the current goal appears to be a robot, but BOLT will also be a back-end IT system to help analysts with translations of stored text and voice.

Translation Tribulations: Transcribing with DragonOne idea that fascinated me with Dragon Naturally Speaking is the potential for using the software to transcribe dictated messages on recording devices. I have often been interested in possibilities for translation away from the computer. In fact, the possibility of translating my by dictation is one that has a long history and which is of great personal interest to me, because I think that it may be possible to achieve a very different flow and quality from that which is typically achieved when writing on a computer. So, while visiting a friend, I purchased an inexpensive Olympus recording device for about €50, then I trained DNS to use it and began my experiment.

Unprofessional Translation: “Anything you say… may be used in evidence.”Long-time Followers and other readers of this blog will remember previous posts about the interpreting at the long series of hearings in Canada for members of the Shafia family. They are Afghans, up on a charge of murder for an alleged honour killing. (I’m avoiding the presumption of guilt and motivation that most of the media make). To find the posts, enter shafia in the Search box on the right. Now the case has finally come to trial. On the language side, some things have improved since the early days: the courtroom installation for the interpreters has been improved and some of the press correctly identifies the defendants’ language as Dari, not Farsi.
