Predicting the Cost Associated with Translating Textual Content
First Claim
1. A method for determining a prediction of the cost associated with translating textual content in a source language, the method comprising:
- executing instructions stored in memory using a processor to estimate a first quantity of first textual content, the first textual content to be translated via human translation;
executing instructions stored in memory using a processor to estimate a second quantity of second textual content, the second textual content to be translated via machine translation;
obtaining an indication of a target language, the source language and the target language forming a language pair; and
executing instructions stored in memory using a processor to determine the prediction of the cost associated with translating the first textual content and the second textual content from the source language to the target language, the prediction based at least in part on the first quantity estimation, the second quantity estimation, and the language pair,the prediction of the cost associated with translating the second textual content based on one or more predicted quality levels, each quality level associated with a portion of the second textual content.

Abstract
A prediction of the cost associated with translating textual content in a source language can be determined. A first quantity estimation of first textual content may be determined. The first textual content is to be translated via human translation. A second quantity estimation of second textual content may also be determined. The second textual content is to be translated via machine translation. An indication of a target language is obtained, wherein the source language and the target language form a language pair. The prediction of the cost associated with translating the first textual content and the second textual content from the source language to the target language is then determined. The prediction is based at least in part on the first quantity estimation, the second quantity estimation, and the language pair.
