Geautomatiseerde evaluatie van juridische vertaling tussen kleinere talen

In this contribution, problems of assessing legal translations and its objectivity will be discussed. Objective assessment proves to be a difficult issue in particular when assessing rare language combinations, such as Slovak – Dutch or Dutch – Czech, since not so much competent translators and assessors are available in these combinations. In this context, we propose a method based on the PIE method and Segers' and Kockaert's benchmark method, which, by means of a consensus ratio, can significantly increase the objectivity of text assessments.
