- Abstract
- The purpose of patent translation is to correctly translate patent documents from one language to another language semantically and syntactically. In this paper, we view patent translation as technical document translation given their domain similarity in terms of their terminologies and writing styles. From this viewpoint, we simply perform patent translation using a technical domain MT system without any further domain adaptation. Experimental results in a Chinese-to-Korean MT system shows that the improved translation performance in technical domain leads to a further improvement in patent translation.
