Anonymizing some specific words before sending to MT

Since many tools are now getting to offer options to add a glossary to influence MT output and avoid having to F/R after the fact, in some situations, this feature can be leveraged to anonymise what is sent to MT before the MT sees it, and I think this may be interesting to some of you. Let me explain:
Among tools I know that offer the function are: DeepL, Intento and GT4T. The only one handling that on your local machine is GT4T.

Since many tools are now getting to offer options to add a glossary to influence MT output and avoid having to F/R after the fact, in some situations, this feature can be leveraged to anonymise what is sent to MT before the MT sees it, and I think this may be interesting to some of you. Let me explain:
Among tools I know that offer the function are: DeepL, Intento and GT4T. The only one handling that on your local machine is GT4T.
So, what happens with GT4T is that when you add a term to your glossary in GT4T (glossary stored on your computer), GT4T recognises the term in the source, replaces it with a GT4T tag and sends the sentence to MT with a tag instead of your glossary word. So, the MT you’re using never sees the glossary term and returns the translated sentence with the tag in it.
So, a use of that could be to add terms/name you wish to keep private on your local glossary so that the MT you’re connecting to never sees them.
I made a video about GT4T here: https://youtu.be/XgPhkUXUTis the process I described above is shown at 8:11 if you want to jump straight to it. My bests to all! 😊 ▲ Collapse

CafeTran Espresso can mask words before sending segments them to MT engines. GT4T's feature was developed after CafeTran Espresso's introduction of the feature. For RWS Studio, a plugin exists.

Thanks for that, you're right! (BTW, I meant MT tools, DeepL, Intento and GT4T are all straight MT tools or MT). What I like about doing it this way is that it's not CAT-dependant, so that gives some flexibility. Be well.
