We will be presenting "Best Practices for Introducing Machine Translation in Medical Translation" at the LocWorld30 Tokyo Life Sciences Business Round Table.

 

 

In medical translation, machine translation is not yet widely used. In this presentation, we will explain the benefits of introducing machine translation in medical translation, as well as the key points to consider when implementing machine translation, along with case studies.

Even if you are not very familiar with machine translation, we will explain the basics of machine translation in the first half of the presentation, so please feel free to join us with peace of mind.

LocWorld is a global conference for the localization industry that has been held since 2003. It is held three times a year in North America, Europe, and Asia, and will be held in Japan for the first time this year. Presentations will be in English.
