But then in other conference settings, well-aligned TMs can be a wonderful reference and should be considered in all these cases where conference texts are translated by translators using TM beforehand. Alignment and term extraction One of the most time-consuming tasks when preparing for an interpretation job is reading reference material, presenta- tions and manuscripts in order to take in both content and terminology. This task might become easier by aligning bilingual documents in order to make it easier to keep track of which English segment cor- responds to which German one, or even extract terminology automatically. Even without a perfect bilingual terminology extraction, having a list of term candidates might help the interpreter to concentrate on the meaning of a text while reading it and then dealing with the terminology separately. When you receive some last- minute document in the booth and have no time to even scan it, even an automati- cally extracted term list might help. All three programs include alignment modules for the usual text formats, though PDF is always a problem. The alignment results are more or less satisfactory; in my testing they always required consid- erable manual re-editing. This is a crucial point, as alignment is only interesting as long as it is more useful than just the two texts copied into two spreadsheet columns, where I can read in parallel and do full text searching as well. When it comes to terminology extrac- tion, Across has a monolingual extraction function, which can only be used from within an active translation project and only via the predefined workflow termi- nology and translation. The server version (which, as opposed to the Personal Edition, is not free of charge) also includes a bilin- gual extraction, which I have not tested. memoQ also does monolingual extrac- tion and this function can be used by simply selecting it from the menu. In Tra- dos, extraction is offered as an additional tool (extra charge), which then includes monolingual and bilingual extraction. If you see term extraction for the first time, the result is impressive. You enter a text and the machine gives you a list of terms. However, these lists or glos- saries require some re-editing, correcting erroneous assignations and deleting irrel- evant terms. The quality of the extraction result depends a lot on the characteristics of the text, so it is hard to say in general if it is more efficient to quickly read over a document and write down the relevant terms manually or use an automatic translation. Apart from the technicalities, it surely also depends on the preferences and working methods of each interpreter. But it is definitely worth a closer look. TM and terminology management programs do indeed offer some interesting aids for interpreters. More often than not, what makes these programs less suitable for interpreters are just minor aspects of handling the data. Hence, it might be worthwhile for TM vendors to consider integrating some more interpreter-friendly features, like a really booth-friendly search function and comfortable glossary print- ing, to address a whole new group of potential users. On the other hand, if one takes a closer look at those programs with all they have to offer, it also becomes clear that there are already some very handy features that interpreters might also want to use and that the fact that they are so little used by interpreters might to a certain degree have to do with a lack of familiarity. If ever one wanted to further explore this path to the interpreter's booth, it might as well turn out to be beneficial to translators and interpreters alike. Translators probably wouldn't mind using booth-friendly, more intuitive functions either. The whole subject of speech recog- nition and checking the spoken word against pretranslated text or terminology might be a future asset, and possibly not only on the interpretation side. With the spoken word spreading into all areas of our lives, video tutorials here and podcasts there, translating or subtitling spoken messages will become more and more important to translators as well. Thus, although desks and booths some- times seem like different planets, we are not such distant relatives after all.

This is a crucial point, as alignment is only interesting as long as it is more useful than just the two texts copied into two spreadsheet columns, where I can read in parallel and do full text searching as well.
