[End] "Learning from Success Stories in Manufacturing: Document Translation for Overseas Expansion - Cost Reduction and Efficiency Seminar" Project case studies using machine translation (5/28 - Free)

*This seminar has ended.


On May 28th (Thursday), we will hold a seminar introducing how to utilize "machine translation" to achieve cost reduction and efficiency while maintaining high quality for manufacturing companies considering overseas expansion.


DSC03332


With the acceleration of overseas expansion in the manufacturing industry in Japan, the demand for quick translation of documents such as instruction manuals, materials for local distributors, and specifications into multiple languages is increasing, while translation costs have become a challenge for many companies.

Machine translation, which has already been adopted by many companies in Europe and has been gaining interest in Japan in recent years, can reduce costs while maintaining translation quality by being utilized with key points in mind.


In the seminar, we will introduce effective utilization tips for "machine translation" as a method for reducing costs and improving efficiency in translation, aimed at document translation personnel needed when manufacturing companies expand overseas, along with case studies from several companies, including examples from medical device manufacturers.


After the seminar, we will provide individual consultations as needed.

Machine Translation: A Growing Market Worldwide

The global market for machine translation is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.53% from 2014 to 2019. In Europe, many companies are adopting machine translation, recognizing it as a strong ally for overseas expansion.

As Japanese companies accelerate their overseas expansion, the demand for introducing machine translation to translate documents for international audiences more efficiently is expected to increase.

Machine Translation of Human Science

Featured Website: http://www.science.co.jp/mt/

In our case of machine translation of office equipment manuals from English to French, Italian, German, and Spanish, we successfully achieved a 48% reduction in translation time and a 27% reduction in translation costs.

We provide our customers with know-how on utilizing machine translation to achieve significant benefits in cost reduction and shortened translation periods, without compromising quality. We clarify the cost-effectiveness compared to human translation work and design the optimal workflow.

As a pioneer with 7 years of experience in machine translation, we support our customers' success in machine translation from implementation to actual machine translation processing tasks.
