We will present on "Case Studies of 10 Companies Implementing Machine Translation (Automated Translation)" at the TC Symposium 2018 in Tokyo.

On Tuesday, August 28, 2018, at the TC Symposium 2018 Tokyo

Learn from 10 Case Studies! - Challenges and Solutions for Implementing Machine Translation will be presented.

 

An increasing number of companies are introducing machine translation (automatic translation) with the aim of improving productivity and reducing costs, but it is also true that many companies are not achieving the expected results.

This presentation will discuss typical challenges encountered when implementing machine translation (automatic translation) based on case studies from 10 domestic companies, and will introduce specific initiatives to address these challenges and enhance productivity.

 

Examples of Initiatives:

・ What are the efficient machine translation quality evaluation methods before implementation?

・ What is the method for organizing a glossary suitable for machine translation?

・ What are the methods to standardize the quality of post-editing?

・ What are the criteria for determining suitable and unsuitable source texts for machine translation?

・ What is the process to smoothly build consensus for the introduction of machine translation within the company?
