Description

MT-EQuAl (Girardi et al., 2014) is a toolkit for the human assessment of Machine Translation output.

MT-EQuAl provides an annotation interface to carry out three annotation tasks:

• quality rating of translations (e.g. adequacy/fluency, relative ranking)
• annotation of translation errors
• word-alignment

MT-EQuAl is web-based and multi-user, allowing large scale and remotely managed manual annotation projects. It incorporates a number of project management functions and sophisticated progress monitoring capabilities.
