NoBabel™ Enhancer Basic User Guide



Using the links provided, you can download the Enhancer TM you purchased.

NoBabel Enhancer Output Files

For each individual TM enhancement job NoBabel Enhancer’s processing of your TM generates 1 Enhancer TM, which can be downloaded as any or all of "Total", "Best Quality", "High Quality", "Medium Quality", and/or the "Zip File" of these 4 files. The “NoBabel Enhancer Output Files” section contains links to these.



File to Download

From the dropdown menu you can select for downloading some or all of the NoBabel Output Files generated by the Enhancer.


Total – This file is intended for users who prefer in their projects to use a single TM rather than multiple TMs. It includes all Best, High, and Medium Quality Enhancer TUs as well as TUs from the original TM supplied by the user. The individual TUs have quality fields that allow penalties to be applied to them. For the convenience of Trados users, the TUs are labeled "ALIGN!" which indicates Best Quality and High Quality TUs and "MT!" which indicates Medium Quality TUs. The "LegacyTM" label indicates TUs from the original TM that were ranked as 100% and as such they did not require any enhancement by NoBabel.

Best Quality – This file includes only the "best" Enhancer TUs that typically can be used "as is" or with only very minor corrections.

High Quality This file includes "high" quality Enhancer TUs that typically require only minor corrections.

Medium Quality– This file includes Enhancer TUs that are typically of lower quality than the Best and High Quality TUs.

Zip File – As the name implies, this is a zip file of the 4 NoBabel Enhancer Output Files, "Total", "Best Quality", "High Quality", and "Medium Quality".


Download Output Files

To download 1 of the Enhancer generated NoBabel Output Files, in the dropdown menu select that Output File and then click on “Download”. A “File Download” popup window will open and to respond to the question, “Do you want to open or save this file?” you have 3 choices.

 

If you select “Open” a window will open displaying the File.

 

If you select “Save” a “Save As” window will open allowing you to save the File wherever you wish.

 

If you select “Cancel” the “File Download” popup window will close without the File being downloaded.

Analysis of NoBabel Enhancer Productivity Gain

The “Analysis of NoBabel Enhancer Productivity Gain” section displays statistics pertaining to NoBabel productivity gains in relation to baseline leverage values performed by an industry-standard Trados-type pre-translation.


Legacy and NoBabel Columns The “Legacy” column shows the degree of matching achieved using a Trados product. The “NoBabel” column shows the number of matches in each percentage range that NoBabel Enhancer has created. Typically, you will see improvements in the 85%-94% range, the 95%-99% range, and the 100% range. The number of matches in the lower ranges will typically decrease.

Weighted Words Weighted Words is the number of words determined by totaling the words in all categories, with little or no weight being given to Context TM, Repetitions, 100% and "High Fuzzies" and up to the full weight being given to "Low Fuzzies" and No Match.

Savings Savings shows you the percentage of weighted words saved when only your TM is used and when both your TM and the NoBabel Enhancer TM are used.

Delete Project

You can delete the project and all its files at once by clicking the “Delete Project” button under the “Analysis of NoBabel Enhancer Productivity Gain” table.

Clicking this button will take you to the “Delete Project Confirmation” page, where you must confirm or cancel the project’s deletion by selecting, in response to the question, “Are you sure you want to delete this project?”, ‘Yes” or “No”. Please note that the default choice is “Yes”. If this is not your preference you can select the choice you prefer by clicking the radio button beside it.

When you delete a completed project the purchased enhanced TM from it, whether downloaded or not, is also deleted. If you erroneously delete an Enhancer TM from a deleted project you will have to recreate it by running the project/job again.

Since “Deleted Files Cannot Be Recovered”, before you delete a completed Enhancer project/job, we recommend that if you want to retain the Enhancer TM purchased from it you save the TM. If you erroneously delete a project/job you will have to recreate it from the beginning.

To proceed click the “Next” button.

You will be taken to the Enhancer “Project List” page after you are done on the “Delete Project Confirmation” page. Also, by clicking on the “Project List” button under the “Analysis for NoBabel Productivity Gain” table you will be taken directly to the “Project List” page, which displays a table with a list of your available Enhancer projects, both Basic and Advanced ones.
