Machine translation quality disparities Machine translation (MT) is often less expensive and has a faster turnaround than hiring a human translator. But before your organization prioritizes cost over quality, make sure you’re informed about the multiple and concerning problems you may encounter with MT. Gender bias bias: prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, … Continued
Machine Translation (MT) has advanced significantly in the past decade to the point that people wonder if human translation will be relevant in future generations. MT vs. Human Translation While MT is often easy to use, cost-efficient, and faster than human translation, MT programmers have yet to resolve several crucial pitfalls: Liability Literal Translation Literacy … Continued
AI-powered neural machine translation (NMT) has the potential to unite us across miles and languages. But there’s a dark side: it also has the potential to unwittingly reinforce societal biases by producing translations that reinforce negative stereotypes. Let’s take a closer look at how that happens and at the steps we’re taking to make sure … Continued
In today’s globalized world, effective communication across language barriers has never been more important. Translation can help businesses expand into new markets and communicate more effectively with non-English speaking customers, but quality is key. Poor quality translation can have the opposite effect, causing confusion, misinterpretations, and costly errors. There are a number of different metrics … Continued
Machine translation tools are rapidly evolving, from the first translation engine built by Petr Troyanskii in 1930 to today’s application of neural networks, where the artificial intelligence (AI) built into machine translation software processes data similarly to a human brain. Machine translation software is becoming more accurate and reliable, bringing the benefits of machine translation … Continued
