Download or read book Crafting Interpreters written by Robert Nystrom and published by Genever Benning. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 1021 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite using them every day, most software engineers know little about how programming languages are designed and implemented. For many, their only experience with that corner of computer science was a terrifying "compilers" class that they suffered through in undergrad and tried to blot from their memory as soon as they had scribbled their last NFA to DFA conversion on the final exam. That fearsome reputation belies a field that is rich with useful techniques and not so difficult as some of its practitioners might have you believe. A better understanding of how programming languages are built will make you a stronger software engineer and teach you concepts and data structures you'll use the rest of your coding days. You might even have fun. This book teaches you everything you need to know to implement a full-featured, efficient scripting language. You'll learn both high-level concepts around parsing and semantics and gritty details like bytecode representation and garbage collection. Your brain will light up with new ideas, and your hands will get dirty and calloused. Starting from main(), you will build a language that features rich syntax, dynamic typing, garbage collection, lexical scope, first-class functions, closures, classes, and inheritance. All packed into a few thousand lines of clean, fast code that you thoroughly understand because you wrote each one yourself.

Download or read book Computers and Translation written by Harold Somers and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-05-28 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is about computers and translation. It is not, however, a Computer Science book, nor does it have much to say about Translation Theory. Rather it is a book for translators and other professional linguists (technical writers, bilingual secretaries, language teachers even), which aims at clarifying, explaining and exemplifying the impact that computers have had and are having on their profession. It is about Machine Translation (MT), but it is also about Computer-Aided (or -Assisted) Translation (CAT), computer-based resources for translators, the past, present and future of translation and the computer. The editor and main contributor, Harold Somers, is Professor of Language Engineering at UMIST (Manchester). With over 25 years’ experience in the field both as a researcher and educator, Somers is editor of one of the field’s premier journals, and has written extensively on the subject, including the field’s most widely quoted textbook on MT, now out of print and somewhat out of date. The current volume aims to provide an accessible yet not overwhelmingly technical book aimed primarily at translators and other users of CAT software.

Download or read book Electronic Tools for Translators written by Frank Austermuhl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic Tools for Translators offers complete explanations of a wide range of software products, information resources and online services that translators now need to understand and use. Individual chapters run through the origins and nature of the internet, the many ways of searching for information, and translation resources on the web, CD-ROMs as information sources, computer-assisted terminology management, the use and construction of corpora, translation memories, localization tools, and the incorporation of machine translation programmes into the translation process. Austermühl explains all these tools and resources in a clear, step-by-step way, suggesting learning tasks and activities for each chapter and guiding the reader through the jargon. Examples are drawn from English, French, German and Spanish. The book can be used as a text in regular classes on computer-assisted translation, in translation practice classes, as well as for self-learning by professionals wishing to update their skills.

This book was released on 2007-07-07 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Computer Science - Software, grade: 2,3, University of Applied Sciences Ansbach, language: English, abstract: “TRANSLATION is very much like copying paintings.” These are the words of Boris Pasternak (1890-1960), a Russian Poet, Novelist and Translator. The key to translation is not only understanding and being fluent in more than one language and having an understanding of language and culture, but also being able to convey the meaning of the text in one language into the other. However, just the knowledge of different languages is not enough to succeed in the competing world scene of translation. Through the immense development of the Internet, information technology, and ongoing globalization, “translation complexity takes a quantum leap” and forces today’s translators to use computer technology, advanced software applications, and computer-aided translation tools to meet enhanced translation requirements in a timely manner. In order to be successful translator in today’s fast turn around times, the knowledge of and skills in different translation facilitating programs are essential. Translation is a difficult process, which requires computer and software skills in addition to proficiency. The translation business is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing markets in the world, and as a result, translators must develop efficiencies in their processes to meet the increasing demand and to be able to offer competitively priced services. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the major translation tools available in the marketplace and to illustrate how they benefit the translator in multiple ways. This thesis will combine the essential knowledge of these different software tools and provide the important criteria required to choose the appropriate foreign language translation software.

Download or read book Techniques for Automating the Construction of Translators for Programming Languages written by W. H. WATTENBURG and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formal procedures are summarized for constructing translators whereby a computer is used to generate substantial portions of the translators, the latter being termed symbolic machine language assemblers, macro expanders, or compilers. The translators all perform the task of translating programs written in one language into equivalent programs written in another. BASIC BOOTSTRAP PROCEDURE: The first translators were written in an available machine language and were mostly symbolic machine language translators (assemblers). Application of the 'bootstrap' procedure was the writing in symbolic language, including the translator itself, of programs, once a symbolic machine language translator became available for a particular machine. The bootstrap procedure has the property that each translator can translate its own description into itself since it is described by a language which is a subset of the language it translates. The NELIAC, compiler for the Remington Rand M460 is a 'selfcompiling compiler'. MULTIPLE BOOTSTRAP PROCEDURES: These procedures involve translators producing object programs for machines other than the machine that performed the translation. As an example of the use of an intermediate language and multiple bootstrap procedure, there is cited the translator constructed for the FORTRAN language and the IBM-7090 and CDC-3600 computers by Mendicino, Storch, and Sutherland at the Lawrence Radiation Lab. of the University of California.
