Machine Translation

MT consists of fully automated translation of large volumes of text in a short time without sacrificing quality and process fluidity.

Using a machine translation service is a great solution if you want to translate a lot of text without cost overruns and long deadlines.

Which situations are machine translation most suited for?

You can get the most out of an MT service when the style of the resulting text is not as important as providing information in the desired language. At such times, there is no need to invest in something as sophisticated as transcreation; you can order an “informative” translation instead.

1. Cost: Machine translation carries the lowest cost per word.

2. Speed: The heavy lifting is done by a machine, providing a quick turnaround.

3. Volume: Machine translation can translate large amounts of text in a few minutes.

4. Learning: The Neural Machine translation engine used at Upwords gets better and better with every new task: the accuracy of raw output improves with each translation.

Machine translation is a fast, affordable alternative for companies that wish to make their texts available in other languages as cost-effectively as possible.

Upwords uses Neural Machine Translation (NMT), the most advanced type of translation engine; it is capable of understanding the context in semantic terms.

After NMT, the text is assigned to a Project Manager and native Reviewers (with a minimum 10 years’ experience) who will put the final product through a process called Post-Editing (PE). This ensures that final delivery to you is flawless.

Post-Editing is a human workflow step, carried out by Reviewers and Proof-readers, to make sure the translation output is completely free of inconsistencies and mistakes, increasing the quality of the text after the automatic translation process.

It is Post-Editing of machine translation that ensures the final delivery can be read accurately and fluidly, as desired by the client.
