1. Risks of using online automatic translation sites
In 2017, with the rapid advancement of AI technology, the accuracy of neural machine translation has greatly improved. This trend is expected to continue in 2018 and beyond. As a result, it is inevitable that everyone will want to use online automatic translation sites. However, is it really okay to use these sites casually for translating business documents?
Article from a few years agoAlthough it has been a few years, there was news of confidential information being leaked through an automatic translation site. Even now, there are countless cases like this both domestically and internationally, causing many information security personnel to be at a loss. Even if IT administrators warn against using automatic translation sites, users continue to use them because they can easily obtain high-quality translation results.
The use of automatic translation sites is an important topic to consider for a company's information security, similar to regular updates of a computer's operating system and methods of file sharing with external parties.
2. Why is there a risk of information leakage on "automatic translation sites"?
This is a brief explanation of the mechanism of a typical automatic translation website.
First, the user inputs the text they want to translate on the translation site or specifies the file to be translated, and sends the data to the translation site's server. The translation site processes the received information, translates it into the specified language, and returns the translation result to the user.
At this time, in some translation sites, the submitted content from the user and its translation result may be saved in a database. This saved data is used to improve the accuracy of automatic translation in the future and may be partially reused in other users' automatic translations depending on the situation.
Therefore, if highly confidential information such as undisclosed product prices or pre-release product information is automatically translated, the translation may be included in other users' automatic translations.
Be sure to check the terms of use for each service, as they should include details on how user-submitted data will be handled. We recommend checking before use.
