The Art Of Translation: Developing Multilingual Digital Resources Using Artificial Intelligence To Support Translation In Bioinformatics.

文化间和语言间交流对于扩大人类知识和社会发展至关重要。这种沟通在科学领域尤为重要，最近的COVID-19疫情和全球合作的必要性就证明了这一点。虽然英语是今天的科学弗兰卡（主要是在出版方面），但它通常不是科学家用来交流和学习的语言（例如在实验室环境中）。因此，翻译成为一个必要的过程，以消除障碍，促进跨语言的参与，同时创造一个更开放的科学。在生物信息学（大生物数据的计算分析）领域发现的材料几乎完全是用英语写的，从而限制了它们的应用范围，并阻止了与已经是一个技术性的，术语密集的领域的接触。科学家可以使用工具来翻译科学材料（例如在线机器翻译服务），但通常无法提供准确和易懂的翻译。当所述材料采取应用说明或教程的形式，旨在供科学家在其实验室工作中重复某些实验或分析时，这就变得特别成问题。

Intercultural and interlingual communication is crucial to the broadening of human knowledge and to the development of societies. This communication is all the more important in the scientific fields, as recently demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for global collaboration. While English is today the lingua franca of science (mainly when it comes to publication), it is often not the language used by scientists to communicate and to learn (in a laboratory environment for instance). Translation thus becomes a needed process for removing barriers and promoting engagement across languages while creating a more open science. Materials found in the field of bioinformatics (the computational analysis of big biological data) are almost exclusively written in English, thus limiting the scope of their application, and preventing engagement with what is already a technical, jargon-heavy field. Tools can be used by scientists to translate scientific materials (e.g. online machine translation services) but often fail to provide accurate and intelligible translations. This becomes particularly problematic when said materials take the form of application notes or tutorials which are designed to be used by scientists to replicate certain experiments or analysis in their laboratory work.
