As the acceleration of overseas expansion in the manufacturing industry in Japan increases, there is a growing need to quickly translate documents such as instruction manuals, materials for local sales companies, and specifications into multiple languages. However, translation costs have become a challenge for each company.

"Machine translation," which has already been introduced in many companies in Europe and has been gaining attention in Japan in recent years, can be used to reduce costs while maintaining translation quality by understanding the key points.


At the seminar, we will introduce the use of "machine translation" as a method for reducing translation costs and improving efficiency for document translation personnel at manufacturing companies expanding overseas. We will also share examples from several companies, including medical device manufacturers, and provide tips for effective utilization.


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

"Machine Translation" - A Growing Market in the World

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

As Japanese companies accelerate their overseas expansion, the need to introduce machine translation to efficiently translate documents for overseas audiences is expected to increase.

"Machine Translation" by Human Science Co., Ltd.

In a case where we machine-translated instruction manuals for office equipment from English to French, Italian, German, and Spanish, we were able to achieve a 48% reduction in translation time and a 27% reduction in translation costs.

At our company, we provide our clients with the know-how of utilizing machine translation that does not compromise on quality while achieving the benefits of cost reduction and shortening translation periods. We will clearly demonstrate the cost-effectiveness compared to human translation and design the optimal workflow.

As a pioneer with 7 years of experience in machine translation, we will support your machine translation success from implementation to actual machine translation processing.
