The Vast World of Machine Translation

For several years, we’ve had a plethora of opinions shared about ‘Machine Translation’, but what exactly is it?

Machine Translation is a form of computational linguistics and language engineering which uses software to translate text instantly from one language to another.

Machine translation has evolved over the years, once used was the Phrase Based Machine Translation, it was initiated in the late 1990s, and notably is the second generation of Statistical Machine Translation as it was from built it’s parent model: IBM.

Basking in it’s readily available algorithms and little to no need for an entire server to be utilised for it’s operation, the need for human proof reading is still highly advisable for accuracy sake.

Significantly, Neural Networks on the other hand, were also used in the 1990s as speech and image recognition technology but known then as Deep learning applications. By definition, Neural Network is a program designed to function similarly as the human brain, using the deep learning process and with the output being more fluid and accurate. Neural Network Machine Translation is the spice of Artificial Intelligence.

So, what makes Neural Network Machine Translation so much better? 🤷‍

• Translators have access to more reliable and accurate translations due to alignment of all sub-component networks.
• The Neural Network improves in proportion to how often it is utilized and the quality of the reference materials it’s fed.
• Bottlenecks for translation processes are eliminated (reduction in translation costs and minimization of time to market cost)
• It ensures consistency in terminology & therefore quality.
• Business’ TMs (Translation Memory) are automated ensuring their brand voice which is spot on in any localization.

While Statistical Machine Translation uses statistical models and requires bilingual content, it doesn’t analyse text based on linguistic rule.

Thus, why settle for less? In the words of John Millington Synge ‘A translation is no translation, unless it will give you the music of a poem along with the words of it’
