Machine Translation FAQs

Machine translation, or MT, is translation completed by computer software built from a large database of existing translations and continual input. There is an array of MT engines in the market, mainly built around neural translation technology which enables the software to analyse and translate text in context for greater accuracy. Statistical MT also forms a part of some engines, translating more on a word-for-word basis, with its strength in technical text. Click here for our webinar on machine translation. 

Machine translation technology has improved immensely over the past few years, thanks mainly to advancements in neural technology. Having said this, while good for gist and many types of content, if you are looking for a 100% accurate & reliable target text, using raw machine translation is not often recommended. Post-editing by a professional linguist will improve the final flow and accuracy.

Machine translation works well for some content (e.g. for gist, internal communications and some technical texts), and not so well for other material (e.g. marketing and creative). Also, some language combinations are stronger than others. Feel free to send us the content you’d like translating and we can advise you as to whether machine translation is a suitable option or not.

We source machine translations from multiple different machine translation engines (e.g. epL, Systran, Google Translate, Microsoft Translate). We use our translation platform’s inbuilt AI to analyse the source text and select the best translation engine based on the source domain and post-editing data collated from all over the world. This allows us to get the most accurate machine translations for your project.

We use a combination of 10+ machine translation engines to provide the most accurate translations possible. Included in this is DeepL, Systran, Google Translate, Microsoft Translate, and more. These engines can be customised with specific terminology and termbases to adapt the translations to your preferences.
