Content translation/Machine Translation/Matxin/fr

La prise en charge de la traduction de contenu est dorénavant étendue. En plus de Apertium, Yandex et Youdao, nous avons ajouté Matxin à la liste des systèmes de traduction automatique (MT - machine translation) disponibles pour les utilisateurs de la traduction de contenu. Cela a pour conséquence la prise en charge supplémentaire de la traduction automatique pour quelques langues.

Matxin est fourni par une équipe de l' Université du Pays Basque, en collaboration avec la Fondation Elhuyar. Ce système de traduction automatique a été créé par cette équipe initialement pour leur propres besoins, afin d'écrire les articles Wikipedia en basque et en espagnol. Various teams inside Wikimedia Foundation have collaborated with the Matxin team to work out an agreement that will allow the use of Matxin without compromising Wikipedia's policy of attribution of rights, privacy of our users, and brand representation. Matxin est un logiciel libre (open source). For ease of use we are using the more convenient machine translation API to access the service hosted by the team. Please find more details of the agreement below and we are happy to hear any questions you may have about this service.

Caractéristiques principales

 * Aucune information personnelle est envoyée à Matxin. The MT system will be accessed via an API key. Article content (freely licensed) is sent to the Matxin server from Wikimedia Foundation servers. No direct communication is happening between the user and external services and no personal information (IP, username) is sent to the Matxin service. Le client qui contacte Matxin est un source libre et vous pouvez le voir ici. No part of Matxin’s service or code will be part of Wikimedia infrastructure or Content Translation codebase. Please also see a diagram of this technical setup at the end of the section.


 * L'information est renvoyée par Matxin sous une licence libre. When Matxin is used, a translated version of Wikipedia content under a free license is obtained. Users can modify it and publish it as part of Wikipedia without conflicts with existing policies. The resulting content translated by Matxin and the user modifications will be available under the same license that is used for the rest of the articles in Wikipedia.


 * Bénéficie à la plus large communauté de traduction des sources libres. Translations obtained from Matxin and user modifications will be publicly available. The post-edited translations are of special interest for the translation research community (including the Matxin team) who can use this resource to create new translation services to support languages for which open source machine translation is not available yet. Cela va aider les développeurs à créer et à améliorer les systèmes de traduction automatique.


 * Les utilisateurs peuvent la désactiver. La traduction automatique est un outil facultatif de la traduction de contenu. Les utilisateurs disposent d'une option pour le désactiver s'ils ne le trouvent pas utile pour quelque raison. Although many Content Translation users have requested for this translation service, each individual user eventually decides whether they would like to use it or not.



Obligations de Matxin

 * To allow for free use of their machine translation API key to the Wikimedia Foundation to allow volunteers on Wikimedia sites to translate articles and supporting at least 10 million characters of translation content per day.

Obligations de la Fondation Wikimedia

 * To provide the volunteer-edited versions of the text translated by the translation tool so that Matxin can improve their tool
 * Aucune donnée personnelle concernant les traducteurs ne sera partagée.
 * Just the original content to translate, its language, and translation target language will be sent in the request to Matxin.
 * The translations published by translators, with or without the help of machine translation services, will be provided in the form of parallel corpora by the Content Translation APIs. Ces APIs seront développées de manière incrémentale, et les résultats seront disponibles librement à tous et pas seulement pour Matxin.

Notes importantes

 * Tous les contenus resteront sous la licence CC BY-SA 3.0


 * Matxin is not requiring any "branding" on Wikimedia Sites outside of listing Matxin as a translation tool option in the translation interface drop-down menu


 * There is no exchange of personal information of volunteers


 * The agreement is limited to 1 year, at which time we can reevaluate our needs


 * We are free to terminate the agreement for any reason, at any time (with 30 days notice)

Questions relatives à ce service
We have addressed some immediate questions about Matxin in this section. This is also available in the Content Translation FAQ page.

Quelles langues sont gérées par Matxin ? Est-il prévu d'en ajouter de nouvelles ?
Matxin peut être utilisé pour traduire de l'espagnol vers le basque. Au fur et à mesure que d'autres langues seront ajoutées au service par les développeurs de l'équipe Matxin, nous les incluerons.

En quoi l'utilisation de Matxin diffère de celle des autres services de traduction automatisée ?
As a user of Content Translation you will not feel any difference on the translation interface as Matxin will display the translated content in the same way other services currently do for the supported language pairs.

Comment est réalisée la traduction si je choisis Matxin ?
Matxin provides an API key that allows websites and other services to use their translation system. Content Translation also uses that unique API key to access Matxin. When a user starts translating an article, the HTML content of each section of the source article is sent to Matxin and a translated version is obtained and displayed on the respective translation column of Content Translation. Links and references are adapted as usual and users can modify the content as required.

This process continues for all the sections of the article being translated. For better performance, the translations for consecutive sections are pre-fetched. The user can save the unpublished translation (to work on it again at a later time) or publish the article in the usual manner. L'article est publié sur Wikipedia comme tout autre article normal, avec sa paternité et les licences associées.

Voici un diagramme du processus.

Est-ce que Matxin est un logiciel libre ?
Oui, ceci est un logiciel libre, similaire à Apertium. It has been developed by a small team from the University of Basque country who developed this tool for their own need to translate Wikipedia articles. They are very much part of the Wikimedia community and we are happy to partner with them.

Devrais-je m'inquiéter au sujet de mes données personnelles en utilisant Matxin ?
Irrespective of the service being used, you can be assured that only Wikipedia content from existing articles is sent and only freely licensed content will be added back to the translation. No personal information is sent and communication with those services happen at the server side, so they are isolated from the user device. Veuillez vous référer à ce diagramme pour plus de détails.

Que faire si Matxin est le seul outil de traduction automatique disponible et je ne veux pas l'utiliser ?
Machine Translation is an optional feature in Content Translation that you can easily disable at will. If more machine translation systems are added for your languages, you can choose to enable MT again and select the MT service of your choice.

Le texte traduit avec Matxin sera-t-il libre d'utilisation dans Wikipédia ?
Yes. The content received from Matxin is otherwise freely available on the web translation platform. C'est un logiciel libre. For ease of use Content Translation receives it via an API key to make it seamlessly available on the translation interface. This content can be modified by the users (if necessary) and used in Wikipedia articles under free licenses.

Est-ce que ce texte peut être utilisé pour améliorer les systèmes de traduction automatique en général ?
Yes. Translations made in Content Translation are saved in our database. This information will be made publicly available for anyone to use as translation examples to improve their translation services (from University research groups, open source projects to commercial companies, anyone!). The content can be accessed via the Content Translation API. Please note, only information related to translated text is publicly available. This includes – source and translated text, source and target language information and an identifier for the segment of text.
