Machine Translation
If you’re localising the content on your website, using machine translation can be an effective means of speeding up the process and reducing your production costs. But, it can require specialist knowledge and experience to both choose and operate the technologies involved. This is where our expertise and our machine translation consultancy services can help.
What is machine translation?
You may have seen ‘machine translation’ being referred to as ‘MT’ and it’s essentially a form of computer software – also often called an ‘MT engine’ – that can be used to translate your content. These ‘engines’ tend to fall into two categories, ‘custom’ and ‘generic’, the former being one that can be adapted to better suit the language of your niche or sector and the latter being standard universal translators, such as Google Translate.
While they can be useful and can translate words and phrases within seconds, the issue is that these engines don’t understand subtext, subtle variations and phrasing that can come from different dialects and languages. As such, they’re better for short and instructional content rather than large volumes of it or longer and emotive copy.
