Enabling transliteration of unknown words
When unknown words are found, users can prompt Language Weaver Edge to transliterate them, namely to spell words letter by letter using the Latin alphabet. This is useful for character conversion in languages such as Arabic or Japanese.
About this task
Transliteration of unknown words is available for specific language pairs only. The Unknown Words functionality is available only with SMT Language Pairs. If no SMT Language Pair is used for the translation, the Unknown Words options are not displayed.
Procedure
- Launch the Web GUI.
- Log in to Language Weaver Edge using a valid account.
- Select Translate from the top bar.
- Select source and target languages.
- Expand the translation Settings menu.
- Under Unknown Words, select Include in output.
- Under Unknown Words, select the Transliterate checkbox.
- Enter text or upload file to translate.
Results
