PC BASED DICTIONARY OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING Stilla Dunkel, inpho GmbH, D - 70174 Stuttgart, Germany Karlheinz Güthner, ABAKUS GmbH, D - 88250 Weingarten, Germany Jürgen Peipe, Universitát der Bundeswehr München, D - 85577 Neubiberg, Germany Commission VI, Working Group 3 KEY WORDS: Terminology, Computer, Software, Machine Translation, PC Based Dictionary ABSTRACT Machine translation is a useful tool to generate draft translations of photogrammetric texts provided that subject- specific (photogrammetric) terms are included in the dictionary of the translation system. In the paper, the building of a microdictionary for photogrammetry and remote sensing within the Globalink translation software is outlined. KURZFASSUNG Automatische Übersetzung kann zur Herstellung von Rohübersetzungen photogrammetrischer Texte eingesetzt werden, vorausgesetzt daß die fachspezifischen (photogrammetrischen) Begriffe im Wörterbuch des Über- setzungssystems enthalten sind. In diesem Bericht wird ein Überblick über die Generierung eines Wörterbuchs für Photogrammetrie und Fernerkundung innerhalb des Globalink Übersetzungssystems gegeben. 1. INTRODUCTION Machine translation of photogrammetric texts from the English into the German language and vice versa can be accomplished by means of a PC based translation system suggested by the authors a few years ago (Güthner and Peipe, 1993). The Globalink translation software is the core of the system (Globalink, 1990). The automatic features of the program support the human interpreter and may increase his productivity. Literary masterpieces are not appropriate to automatic translation, of course, but precisely formulated technical documents lead to satisfactory draft translations representing the general meaning of the text in the target language. The software offers a comprehensive text analysis according to syntax and grammar instead of a simple word-by-word transfer. In the interactive mode, the text is translated sentence by sentence. Two windows are displayed on the PC monitor showing the text in both languages. The user is able to modify the source and the target text on-line to produce an optimized target document (see examples given in Güthner and Peipe, 1993). Essential part of the software are dictionaries as lexical databases. A general dictionary includes approximately 65000 terms. Subject-specific user-defined micro- dictionaries can be added to improve substantially the quality of translation. Such a microdictionary contains the terminology of a special subject area, e.g. photogrammetry and remote sensing. If a term exists in both the general dictionary and a microdictionary, the subject-specific term has priority. All the dictionaries provide two sections, a single word data base and a semantic unit data base. Word implies the vocable itself and its grammatical form (gender, inflection, part of speech etc.). Semantic units are phrases consisting of a sequence of single words. They correspond to semantic units in the target language and must not be translated word-for-word. Building and enhancing the dictionaries is crucial to obtain a satisfactory quality of translation. In the Globalink software, the dictionaries can be modified using an update program which enables the user to check, add, change and eliminate terms. As an important part of the procedure, the grammatical function of any term is entered in coded form (e.g. part of speech, gender, tense, singularity or plurality of a term, etc.). When a noun or verb is to be added, information can be necessary to create correct inflection codes (Sect. 2). In this paper, the generation of a microdictionary of photogrammetry and remote sensing is outlined. The product can be used within the Globalink translation system. 2. A MICRODICTIONARY OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING To give an impression of the building and the content of the microdictionary, the input of nouns, verbs and semantic units is briefly described in Sect. 2.1 to 2.3. The terms have to be entered in both the English and the German dictionary because the dictionaries are monolingual and separate from one another. The connection between the source dictionary (e.g. German) and the target dictionary (e.g. English) is 114 International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6.
