MT as an integrated component of the traditional CAT tool

 

Machine Translation has been one of the most significant technologies to enter the localization market in recent years. Despite widespread fears and misgivings over the use of MT and the loss of the human touch in translation, it is first and foremost a tool to help translators work more efficiently. MT is successful because of its unique fit within the translation environment alongside more traditional translation tools and the exciting possibilities it offers for the future. In this keynote speech, we will look at how translators already benefit from MT integration in standard CAT tools and explore some of the innovative trends facilitating the translation tasks of tomorrow.
