Maximizing Cost-Effectiveness
Introduction Seminar for Machine Translation (Automatic Translation)

Will be held.

"Are the cost benefits really expected?" "Can the translation quality be maintained?" We will provide specific points to solve the challenges that every company faces when introducing machine translation!

Overview

Many companies seem to have introduced machine translation for translating documents such as manuals and technical materials, thanks to the improvement in accuracy of machine translation (MT, automatic translation).

However, when introducing machine translation,

・What is the cost-effectiveness?

- Is the quality really okay with machine translation?

・Which machine translation software should I choose from the many available options?

・What specific preparations are needed for machine translation operations?

・Translator・Can the production company handle machine translation?

Many companies seem to face challenges such as this and have difficulty smoothly implementing machine translation.

In this seminar, we will focus on the "cost-effectiveness" and "quality" of machine translation.

・60% cost reduction for a domestic electrical equipment manufacturer (listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange)

・30% cost reduction achieved by a domestic industrial equipment manufacturer (listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange)

We will also cover challenges and initial expected effects when introducing it, as well as the actual situation after implementation.

After the seminar, the machine translation project manager will be available for individual consultations.
If you wish to have a consultation, please check the "Individual Consultation Request" box on the application form.
