Commercial interest in machine translation (MT) is experiencing a significant rebound, though not necessarily because the quality of raw MT output has improved dramatically. Instead, a number of business, technology, and non-linguistic factors are combining to produce a resurgence of interest in MT.
While MT output is not equivalent to human translation, it does add a range of options for saving time, reducing costs, and improving service to customers, partners, and employees. In recent years, a number of successes have been reported by enterprises applying MT in commercial operations.
This topic brief will:
- explain how factors increasing the utility and applicability of MT have opened the door for market adoption
- explore recent applications of MT
- outline specific criteria to use when evaluating enterprise MT initiatives
Understanding why, when, and where MT is most applicable helps ensure successful deployments. |
