Machine Translation

If you want to improve existing machine translation capabilities, you want to provide a dataset with robust and accurate translation examples. Use this template to read a text in one language and store a translation in another language.

About the labeling configuration

All labeling configurations must be wrapped in View tags.

Use styling on the View tag to place the two text samples and headers side by side:

      
        xml
        
        
      <View style="display: grid; grid-template: auto/1fr 1fr; column-gap: 1em">

You can add a header to provide instructions to the annotator:

      
        xml
        
        
      <Header value="Read the text in English" />
<Header value="Provide translation in Spanish" />

Use the Text object tag to specify the text to be translated:

      
        xml
        
        
      <Text name="english" value="$english" />

Use the TextArea control tag to provide an editable, required text box to provide a translation of the text, and include a Submit button for annotators:

      
        xml
        
        
      <TextArea name="spanish" toName="english" transcription="true" 
            showSubmitButton="true" maxSubmissions="1" editable="true"
            required="true" rows="5"/>
