Overview

Recently, machine translation has been recognized for its effectiveness and has been introduced into manuals and other materials. However, it is still a fact that many companies are hesitant to adopt it due to their concerns.

Therefore, in this presentation, we will answer the following frequently asked questions regarding the implementation of machine translation, while introducing case studies of machine translation implementation from domestic manufacturing companies that our company has actually worked on.

・What do I need to prepare for introduction?

・Which machine translation engine should I choose?

- Worried about the time and effort required for engine maintenance

・How much corpus is needed to be loaded into the statistical-based engine?

・I cannot understand the image of how the current workflow will change.

・Is the quality really okay?

・How much cost benefit is there in introducing machine translation?

We are waiting for many participants, including those who are considering introducing machine translation and those who have already introduced it but have not yet achieved the expected cost reduction effect.
