4 Hints on Pre-/Post-editing for
EJ Translation
When ATLAS fails to translate a document, the original sentences are output
as they are. In this case, review them by taking the following precautions
into account.
4.1 Hints for Creating/Modifying Original Text
■ Shortening sentences
The longer the sentences are, the higher the possibility of translation failure. Divide single
sentences into 2 or more at the point where a comma or conjunction is used.
■ Clarifying the modification of complicated sentences
"Complicated sentences" refer to those in which it is difficult to analyze the modifications.
They include sentences in which a prepositional phrase is placed away from its qualifying
clause or words and sentences in which parallel phrases are nested. Such sentences may
not be interpreted correctly.
