Although the quality depends on the language pair, the source text and the customisation of the MT system, the output is usually at least good enough to understand the message and increase the <strong>productivity<\/strong> of the translator who edits the &#8216;pre-translation&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Untranslate helps its clients <strong>deploy existing translation technology<\/strong> or <strong>build their own engines<\/strong> that understand the specific terminology. This is done by feeding the engines with parallel data in the source and target language. One condition is that the data is representative and qualitative, and meets a number of formal requirements. It may therefore be necessary to first clean up the data using routines and special tools, and identify problematic passages using automatic checks.<\/p>\n<p>Are you convinced that, in certain cases, post-editing machine translation leads to a <strong>faster<\/strong> and therefore <strong>cheaper production<\/strong> process than &#8216;manual&#8217; translation, but are your translators sceptical? Untranslate has been organising experiments involving objective productivity measurement at companies and organisations for more than 10 years. Through examples and practical exercises, linguists discover the real potential of MT applied to their own personal situation. A clear explanation of how the technology works contributes to a better understanding of possible error patterns so they can be recognised and corrected quickly. Examples of successful use cases serve as a source of inspiration for building innovative and integrated solutions within the organisation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Contact us for more info or request a free quote.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_right\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" href=\"https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/untranslate\/#contact\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Contact us<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Machine translationMachine translation is a translation generated by a computer program &#8211; i.e. fully automatically.
