We will present "Best Practices for Implementing Machine Translation in Medical Translation" at the LocWorld30 Tokyo Life Sciences Business Round Table.

 

 

In medical translation, machine translation is still not common. In this presentation, we will explain the benefits of introducing machine translation in medical translation, along with key points to consider when implementing it, along with case studies.

Even if you are not very familiar with machine translation, we will explain the basic aspects of machine translation in the first half of the presentation, so please feel free to participate.

LocWorld is a global conference for the localization industry that has been held since 2003. It takes place three times a year in North America, Europe, and Asia, and will be held in Japan for the first time this year. Presentations will be in English.
