Use Machine Translation to accelerate your translation process 🚀
A thread by @rk_process9

Using #MT can increase the #productivity of your #translator and save time. When combined with appropriate #translation tools, it can also help improve the quality of translations for you.

However, its important to remember that #tech is a tool that can reduce your effort, but not eliminate it entirely. For example, a car or an airplane can help you reach your destination faster, but you still need to drive or fly it.

For content publishers, such as a business or a media org, it is common to verify and post-edit translations produced by MT before publishing them. This process is similar to having an article written by a writer go through proof-reading and editing before publication.

In some cases, such as blogs, articles for #SEO purposes, and content created for less-formal purposes, one can use #machinetranslation directly.

#MT is an important #tech for orgs producing a significant volume of content. Higher use of MT combined with post-editing can create a feedback loop for content. This helps build a #MachineLearning corpus, which can drastically reduce your #translation time and costs.
5/n

Over time, the MT engine will learn the terminology and style of your organization and will eventually produce #translations that require little to no proof-reading and post-editing.

To reap the benefits of this technology, an organization must invest in MT and appropriate post-editing and corpus management tools that can convert your data into a valuable resource and ultimately provide a significant return on investment.
