Machine Translation (Automatic Translation) Introduction Seminar for Those Who Don't Know
~Maximizing Cost-Effectiveness
Approach and Points for Introducing Machine Translation (Automatic Translation)~

Will be held.

As a manual production company, we can tell you about the "Introduction process and points for reducing costs while maintaining quality before implementing machine translation"!

This seminar is an additional event of the highly acclaimed and sold-out "Machine Translation (Automatic Translation) Implementation Seminar" held on June 13, 2018.
Even those who missed the previous event are encouraged to participate!

Overview

Although more and more companies are introducing machine translation for translating documents such as manuals and technical materials, there are still issues with the quality and workflow of machine translation, and many companies are not able to fully utilize its cost-effectiveness. The cost-effectiveness of introducing machine translation greatly depends on whether or not the company prepares and focuses on key points beforehand.

・How much cost reduction can be achieved with machine translation?

- What kind of workflow should be built to achieve cost-effectiveness with machine translation?

・Which one should I choose from the many automatic translation software?

・How can we maintain quality with machine translation?

We will answer questions like this.

As an example of implementation,
・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 take an example of actual situation of challenges during introduction and initial expected effects, as well as cost-effectiveness after introduction and explain it in detail.

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.
