A new machine translation tool is now available in PATENTSCOPE
March 18, 2011
The
tool
developed in-house at WIPO uses Moses open-source technology and has been specifically trained with
bilingual corpuses of text from the patent field, taking account of the International Patent
Classification (IPC). It allows users to translate the titles and abstracts of inventions from
English to French and Chinese and vice versa. Other language pairs, notably Korean-English and
Japanese-English are being studied.
The selected text is sub-divided into several segments for which the tool suggests alternative
translations so that the user can select the best available translation.
