PBK - Penerjemahan dengan Aplikasi Wordfast (Review dan Foto)

Hai kawula muda, kembali lagi saya akan me-review sebuah aplikasi penerjemahan yang baru saya pelajari. Sebelumnya saya sudah memberikan review saya tentang aplikasi penerjemahan lainnya, yaitu Transit, yang bisa dilihat disini. Pada kesempatan kali ini saya akan memberikan review tentang aplikasi penerjemahan Wordfast.  

Wordfast diciptakan oleh Yves Champollion pada tahun 1999. Aplikasi yang menjadi andalan banyak  penerjemah lepas profesional ini memiliki kemampuan setara dengan SDL Trados. Wordfast memiliki 4 tipe aplikasi yang dapat digunakan sesuai kebutuhan, yaitu: Wordfast Classic, Wordfast Pro, Wordfast Anywhere, dan Wordfast Server. Wordfast Classic merupakan add-ons untuk Ms. Word sehingga aplikasi ini lebih cocok digunakan pada proyek-proyek terjemahan berbasis dokumen berformat <.doc>, <.docx>, dan format-format lain yang didukung oleh Ms. Word. Sementara itu, Wordfast Pro merupakan aplikasi standalone yang mendukung lebih banyak varian format dokumen

Namun layaknya aplikasi pada umumnya, aplikasi Wordfast  ini juga mempunyai kelebihan dan kekurangan, terutama dalam penggunaannya. Oleh karena itu, pada postingan ini saya akan sedikit memberikan opini saya setelah menggunakan aplikasi Wordfast.

Kelebihan Wordfast :

-     Lebih mudah digunakan daripada aplikasi Transit.

-     Aplikasi Wordfast jauh lebih modern sehingga memudahkan para penerjemah awam

-     Aplikasi ini tidak berbayar/gratis.

Kekurangan Wordfast :

-   Penerjemah tidak dapat menerjemahkan  teks secara otomatis dari teks sumber ke teks sasaran seperti Transit XV.

Berikut ini saya cantumkan gambar dari hasil penggunaan aplikasi terjemahan Wordfast :

Sekian review penggunaan aplikasi Wordfast dari kami, terima kasih atas perhatiannya.

PBK - Penerjemahan dengan Aplikasi TRANSIT XV (Review dan Foto)

Selamat malam, kali ini saya akan me-review sebuah aplikasi penerjemahan yang belum lama ini saya pelajari. Transit XV, adalah sebuah aplikasi penerjemahan berbantuan komputer yang masuk ke dalam kategori CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) dimana dengan aplikasi ini kita akan menerjemahkan sebuah teks yang dibantu dengan software dari komputer.

Namun layaknya aplikasi pada umumnya, aplikasi Transit XV  ini juga mempunyai kelebihan dan kekurangan, terutama dalam penggunaannya. Oleh karena itu, pada postingan ini saya akan sedikit memberikan opini saya setelah menggunakan aplikasi Transit XV.

Kelebihan:

• Aplikasi ini mempermudah kita menerjemahkan kata demi kata tanpa ada yang terlewatkan karena sistemnya yang memblok otomatis setiap kalimatnya. Jadi kita bisa meminimalisir kesalahan.
• Memiliki tampilan yang sederhana sehingga tidak membuat pengguna merasa terganggu dengan berbagai Tools yang tersedia. . 
• Memiliki fitur fitur yang mudah dipahami oleh pemula. 
• Fitur kamus yang ada sangat membantu kita untuk melakukan penerjemahan di projek berikutnya. 

Kekurangan:

•  Proses instalasi yang rumit membuatnya sulit digunakan pada awalnya.
•  Melalui banyak tahapan untuk bisa membuat proyek baru.
•  Sering kali gagal saat proses import data (kebetulan saya sendiri butuh waktu berkali-kali sampai bisa berhasil).

Berikut ini adalah hasil proyek yang saya buat:

Demikian review singkat saya, semoga dapat menjadi referensi bagi kalian dalam memilih  aplikasi penerjemahan.

Gerard Pique: Barcelona man prepared to quit Spain duty amid independence debate

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique says he will retire from international football before the World Cup if his support for Catalonia's independence referendum is deemed a problem.

Barcelona beat Las Palmas 3-0 in an empty stadium on Sunday following unrest in the city, and the 30-year-old described it as his "hardest game".

"I think I can continue," said Pique. "But if the board really thinks I'm a problem, I will take a step back and leave the national team before 2018. "There are many people in Spain who disagree with what happened today and believe in democracy."

Catalonia, a region of 7.5 million people in north-eastern Spain, has its own language and culture and Barcelona is its capital. It also has a high degree of autonomy, but is not recognised as a separate nation under the Spanish constitution.

Jeered during Spain games   

           

Pique has played 91 times for Spain but has become a divisive figure because of his stance on the referendum. During their June friendly against Columbia in Murcia, a city in south east Spain, he was jeered frequently by supporters who oppose Catalan independence.

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has intervened to ask fans to show his international colleague "respect". 

Before Sunday's game against Las Palmas, Pique posted a picture on Twitter of him voting in the referendum. The former Manchester United defender wrote: "I have already voted. Together we are unstoppable defending democracy."

Based on the article, the direct sentences is contained in the statement,

"I think I can continue," said Pique. "But if the board really thinks I'm a problem, I will take a step back and leave the national team before 2018. "There are many people in Spain who disagree with what happened today and believe in democracy."

it's appropriate with the characteristics of direct sentences which have the words spoken between quotation marks.

Business Communication - The Importance of Information Technology in Business

Information technology drives innovation and innovation is the path to business success. Innovation in business has the same impact that steam had on the industrial revolution.Technology has important effects on business operations. No matter the size of your enterprise, technology has both tangible and intangible benefits that will help you make money and produce the results your customers demand. Technological infrastructure affects the culture, efficiency and relationships of a business. It also affects the security of confidential information and trade advantages.

There are several kinds of technology that can be used to support business, such as:

1. E-mail
E-mail is widely used as a form of business communication and overall it is a highly effective communication tool. Email is inexpensive, only requiring an Internet connection that is generally already present in the business. Although a printout of emails is possible, emails often stay as soft copies because archiving and retrieving email communications is easy to do. From the CEO to the janitorial staff and even temporary employees of the business can send and receive email communications.

2. Internet
It is very difficult to imagine how any business could operate during this time without the use of the internet. The development of the internet has significantly altered the day to day operations of a business; including how they communicate with each other and their audience. Information can be easily transmitted to any destination in a matter of seconds.

The internet has become an essential tool for marketing and advertising. A business can present itself to customers with the use of a website or online advertisements. Many businesses now use the internet as a means of making customers aware of their current promotions. This can be very beneficial to businesses that are targeting a younger audience.

3. Voicemail
Voicemail, like other communications technologies, can be a boon to productivity or a center of inefficiency for a business. There is almost no doubt that you will wish to use voice mail in some ways -- unless your business eschews telephones entirely -- but the proper application of voicemail will determine its usefulness.

4. Teleconference
Teleconferencing among multiple participants in two or more locations is a strategic communication tool deployed by many companies with multiple locations and dispersed employees. Business cyclical shifts and economic downturns tend to see a rise in the use of teleconferencing facilities. Used judiciously and strategically, teleconferencing can enhance organizational productivity, engage employees at all levels and reduce travel budgets.

Business Report
Business reports are a type of assignment in which you analyze a situation (either a real situation or a case study) and apply business theories to produce a range of suggestions for improvement.
Business reports are typically assigned to enable you to:
• Examine available and potential solutions to a problem, situation, or issue.
• Apply business and management theory to a practical situation.
• Demonstrate your analytical, reasoning, and evaluation skills in identifying and weighing-up possible solutions and outcomes.
• Reach conclusions about a problem or issue.
• Provide recommendations for future action.
• Show concise and clear communication skills.

Types of Business Report

Reports may be classified based on several criteria, including their use (progress reports and financial reports), purpose (informational, analytical and persuasive reports), frequency of preparation (annual, monthly, weekly and hourly reports), length (short and long reports) and whether they are internal to the business, or are used outside the business.

The most common types of business reports may be divided into the following categories –

1. Periodic reports – These are reports that are prepared on a regular basis, for both internal and external audiences. Their purpose is solely to inform. Examples of this type of report are –

a) Routine management reports – These are reports such as equipment reports and sales updates and are prepared for internal audiences.

b) Compliance reports – These are submitted to external stakeholders, such as the government, stating compliance with regulations such as environmental norms.

c) Progress reports – These reports may be prepared for both internal audiences such as top management and shareholders, as well as for external audiences such as customers. A project report stating progress on a long-term project is an example of this type of report.

2. Proposals – Unlike periodic reports, the purpose of a proposal is to persuade. Proposals may be prepared for both internal and external audiences. Examples of proposals include research proposals and marketing strategy proposals to top management, proposals to the government to grant funds for building a research facility and proposals to consumers to buy a company’s products.

3. Policies and Procedures – The purpose of these reports is solely to inform. They are also prepared only for internal audiences. Examples include reports on company policies and procedures, written by top management and sent to all employees. This is part of downward communication.

4. Situational reports – These are one-time, exceptional reports that are prepared when a unique event occurs. For example, if sales of the company has shown a significant decline, a study may be carried out to determine the reasons for declining sales and a report prepared on the findings. Similarly, a market feasibility study may be carried out before launch of a new product and a report prepared, based on the study. The purpose of such reports is usually to inform, analyze and persuade.
