TaBiThA: Asisten Penerjemah Alkitab (sebelumnya TBTA)
TaBiThA adalah sistem perangkat lunak yang dapat digunakan untuk menghasilkan terjemahan awal Kitab Suci dalam bahasa yang belum memiliki Alkitab. Terjemahan awal ini menyampaikan makna setiap ayat Alkitab dalam bahasa sasaran, tetapi masih perlu diedit untuk kejelasan dan kealamian.
Biasanya, penerjemah yang bertugas membuat terjemahan awal, yang dapat menjadi proses yang panjang dan sulit. Dengan TBTA, terjemahan awal dibuat dalam sebagian kecil waktu, dan tim penerjemah dapat segera melanjutkan ke tahap tinjauan.
The TaBiThA software works with specially designed digital templates of each book of the Bible. First, a target language is analyzed to gather important grammatical information, such as sentence structure and parts of speech. Then this information is entered into TaBiThA and applied to the templates to create the draft of each book.
TaBiThA is fast. Using TaBiThA to simplify the drafting process could result in incredible time savings - a New Testament translation could be completed in approximately six years instead of 10, and an Old Testament translation in eight years instead of 13.
TaBiThA is consistent. By using a template, the drafts produced are more uniform and the number of exegetical errors in the text is reduced. This makes the review process easier and more efficient.
TaBiThA is versatile. In addition to Scripture, the TaBiThA software can be used to produce draft translations of a variety of other materials in the target language, such as health, development, and human rights information.
