Crowd outsourcing for software localization

Abstract

This work studies the capability of Crowd sourcing related to translation and software localization and the quality obtained by the use of a crowd sourcing methodology. This work is performed within the collaboration of CA Labs, Europe, and is specifically focused on the design of a crowd sourcing platform able to guarantee high quality in translation, and to comply with industrial aspects of translation. Moreover, a prototype of the designed platform has been developed and has been used to run some experiment with a reduced and controlled crowd, to test the potentiality of translation done by a not homogeneous group of users. The reasons, challenges, road-map and results obtained in this work are described in detail in this document.
