Machine translation

Premium translation is about combining the knowledge of linguists with cutting-edge technology. memoQ has been designed to help linguists and project managers eliminate repetitive steps and automate processes wherever possible, thus making your localization workflows faster, more connected, and more cost-effective. 

Machine Translation (MT) allows you to automatically translate text from one language to another and can play an important role in any workflow—whether you are looking for gains in further efficiency through automation, or more support for your translator through an augmented translation environment. Being one of the most sought-after and fastest-developing technologies, MT engines are continuously being trained and becoming more accurate resulting in a smoother and more cost-effective translation process. memoQ TMS can also play a role in training the models. Premium quality translation through memoQ TMS creates the data you need to feed your MT engine. 

There are several use cases for machine translation, like using raw MT, or machine translation post-editing for both individual translators as well as translation companies and departments. MT can also serve as a basis for more creative translation jobs where you use the machine translation output as an inspiration for writing material for ads, literary text, and more. 

If you are interested in how to leverage machine translation in your localization workflows, here’s an article to start.
