text&form attends as many industry events as possible throughout the year. It\u2019s how we stay in shape and provide our customers with the highest level of service possible. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve been up to over the last few months.<\/p>\n
XTRF specializes in the translation\u00a0process<\/em>, i.e., they provide language service providers with solutions that help them deliver translation projects to their customers faster. This was their first summit. Topics of discussion included internal resources planning, customer success stories, and of course XTRF\u2019s own roadmap.<\/p>\n At the Machine Translation Summit, we discussed neural machine translation<\/a>, knowledge-based machine translation, and how humans contribute to accurate and fast translations.<\/p>\n At the Machine Translation Summit, we discussed neural machine translation<\/a>, knowledge-based machine translation, and how humans contribute to accurate and fast translations.<\/p>\n It may sometimes feel like perfected machine translation is just around the corner, but then new tests (and our own experience) confirm that it isn\u2019t. At the\u00a0Machine Translation Summit\u00a0in Dublin, discussions evolved around how to train machine translation, if companies that have not yet embraced it should begin using it, and if language service providers lose work because of machine translation. (They don\u2019t, but their productivity and the quality of translation increases.)<\/p>\n Attending conferences like this one also helps us see ahead to the future of translation so we can help prepare our customers for that future. For example,\u00a0machine translation\u00a0is here to stay. That\u2019s not new. But how can language service providers most effectively use machine translation to benefit their customers? The answer keeps changing, because machine translation keeps changing.<\/p>\n Translation also heavily depends on the mode of communication. For example,\u00a0multimedia translation<\/a>\u00a0requires adherence to available space on a recording, whereas translating a blog post usually has no such restrictions. That means that different components of your content strategy may require different approaches to translating that content.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why we\u2019re also heading to\u00a0tekom-Jahrestagung<\/a>, a conference organized by\u00a0tekom Deutschland e.V.<\/a>, in November. This association specializes in technical communication, and translation and localization are crucial to accurate, multilingual technical communication.<\/p>\n If you see us at a conference or exhibition, feel free to ask us any questions about translation and localization. We\u2019d be happy to answer them for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" text&form attends as many industry events as possible throughout the year.
