Machine Translation
Next generation translation using AI
Introduction
Machine Translation aims to produce high quality translations of content in a given language into a different language. Based on machine learning technology, modern machine translation learns to translate from data that expresses identical or similar content in different languages. Machine translation technology has become ubiquitous over the years, with millions of translation requests generated every day in a wide range of scenarios.
The technology can be adapted to specific domains and languages, after the appropriate selection and preparation of the necessary data. Optimal results are typically achieved with systems prepared to target specialised content, as they learn to produce accurate translations from domain-specific data. As a component, machine translation is an essential addition to create multilingual applications in a wide range of scenarios.

Markets
Language Service Providers
Increasing productivityWith constantly growing volumes of content in need of translation, language service providers aim to integrate accurate machine translation technology into their processes, in order to deliver high-quality translation services on time. Our solution produces highly adapted translation technology for user-defined domains, thus providing optimal answers to real-life translation scenarios and needs
Audiovisual
Providing multilingual informationSubtitles are critical to provide accessible audiovisual content to all citizens. In a globalised world where language barriers need to be overcome, multilingual subtitling is a crucial component for an unrestricted access to global content. Our solution enables the generation of mutlilingual subtitles from human transcripts or from content generated via speech recognition technology, in offline/live mode
Public Administration
Expanding public servicesPublic administrations need to make their content available in the official languages of the country, as well as the languages of foreign visitors. The demand for multilinguality is thus high for the variety of topics and domains covered by public administrations. Machine translation helps answer this need for accurate translations of public information and expand access to public services across languages
Sectorial Markets
Supporting market expansionEvery commercial sector is a world in itself, featuring characteristic vocabulary and expressions. Successful market expansion requires appropriate internationalisation processes that takes into account domain features and specificities. Our machine translation technology offers the means to support translation that is tailored to specific sectors. Specifically, it has been applied to the industrial sector where the effective management of multilingual information (technical operation manuals, maintenance procedures, etc.) is a requirement of the Industry 4.0 revolution in the globalized environment
