What is machine translation?

In many cases, machine translation is not recommended, especially when you have a very engaging marketing message that you want to resonate with people. However, machine translation can be very useful for translating complex subject matter. When we make use of CAT tools with pre-existing translation glossaries and terminology, using machine translation (combined with human translators) can speed up the process and improve the accuracy. This also makes it cheaper for you.

Many people associate machine translation with a simple plugin, like Google Translate and with less-than-accurate results. But, the reality is that machine translation is developing in capability and sophistication all the time. Clear Words Translations is harnessing its power in this digital age. Ask about machine translation and whether it’s right for your project by contacting us today.
