done; ok so no function behind for amelioration of further translations.

Hi all, when I translate Mediawiki pages into FR, sometimes in the suggestion frame, an Apertium proposal appears. I rarely use that because it is often far from the usual use and make me smile although I recognize it holds the idea of the text.

To make things in an intelligent way I wonder if it is not worth clicking on this text to bring it back in the main frame and then correct/adapt it. Is there a learning process behind that ? I mean receiving the translated text and returning it corrected can feed a function of amelioration for further translations.

...or is that only a one way mechanism ? and in this case it is worth to translate directly on the flow without referring to the suggestion.

Thanks.

I don’t think it would send back any data to Apertium, but Nikerabbit should know it better.

Apertium developers can use Content Translation dumps. We do not track or store the machine translation output in Translate which makes it impossible to produce similar dumps. One reason behind poor quality Apertium translations is that Translate is configured to allow to do translation through an intermediate language.
