▁text ▁file ▁to ▁the ▁T M . ▁Import ▁can ▁be ▁done ▁from ▁a ▁raw ▁format , ▁in ▁which ▁an ▁external ▁source ▁text ▁is ▁available ▁for ▁importing ▁into ▁a ▁T M ▁along ▁with ▁its ▁translation . ▁Sometimes ▁the ▁texts ▁have ▁to ▁be ▁re process ed ▁by ▁the ▁user . ▁There ▁is ▁another ▁format ▁that ▁can ▁be ▁used ▁to ▁import : ▁the ▁native ▁format . ▁This ▁format ▁is ▁the ▁one ▁that ▁uses ▁the ▁T M ▁to ▁save ▁translation ▁mem ories ▁in ▁a ▁file . ▁ ▁Analysis ▁ ▁The ▁process ▁of ▁analysis ▁involves ▁the ▁following ▁steps : ▁Text ual ▁parsing ▁ ▁It ▁is ▁very ▁important ▁to ▁recognize ▁pun ctu ation ▁correctly ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁distinguish ▁between ▁for ▁example ▁a ▁full ▁stop ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁a ▁sentence ▁and ▁a ▁full ▁stop ▁in ▁an ▁abbre viation . ▁Thus , ▁mark - up ▁is ▁a ▁kind ▁of ▁pre - edit ing . ▁Usually , ▁materials ▁which ▁have ▁been ▁processed ▁through ▁transl ators ' ▁aid ▁programs ▁contain ▁mark - up , ▁as ▁the ▁translation ▁stage ▁is ▁embedded ▁in ▁a ▁mult iling ual ▁document ▁production ▁line . ▁Other ▁special ▁text ▁elements ▁may ▁be ▁set ▁off ▁by ▁mark - up . ▁There ▁are ▁special ▁elements ▁which ▁do ▁not ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁translated , ▁such ▁as ▁proper ▁names ▁and ▁codes , ▁while ▁others ▁may ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁converted ▁to ▁native ▁format . ▁L ingu istic ▁parsing ▁ ▁The ▁base ▁form ▁reduction ▁is ▁used ▁to ▁prepare ▁lists ▁of ▁words ▁and ▁a ▁text ▁for ▁automatic ▁retr ieval ▁of ▁terms ▁from ▁a ▁term ▁bank .
