Machine Translation

If you want to improve existing machine translation capabilities, you want to provide a dataset with robust and accurate translation examples. Use this template to read a text in one language and store a translation in another language.

Labeling Configuration

<View>
  <View style="display: grid; grid-template: auto/1fr 1fr; column-gap: 1em">
    <Header value="Read the text in English" />
    <Header value="Provide translation in Spanish" />
  <Text name="english" value="$english" />
  <TextArea name="spanish" toName="english" transcription="true" 
            showSubmitButton="true" maxSubmissions="1" editable="true"
            required="true" rows="5"/>
  </View>

About the labeling configuration

All labeling configurations must be wrapped in View tags.

Use styling on the View tag to place the two text samples and headers side by side:

<View style="display: grid; grid-template: auto/1fr 1fr; column-gap: 1em">

You can add a header to provide instructions to the annotator:

<Header value="Read the text in English" />
<Header value="Provide translation in Spanish" />

Use the Text object tag to specify the text to be translated:

<Text name="english" value="$english" />

Use the TextArea control tag to provide an editable, required text box to provide a translation of the text, and include a Submit button for annotators:

<TextArea name="spanish" toName="english" transcription="true" 
            showSubmitButton="true" maxSubmissions="1" editable="true"
            required="true" rows="5"/>
