Machine Translation Services: Combining Efficiency and Professionalism

When you need to quickly translate internal documents for informational purposes, machine translation (MT) services combined with human post-editing might be the most suitable solution. Arrow Translation offers this service to help you efficiently complete your translation tasks.

Machine Translation: Fast and Cost-Effective

For the rapid translation of internal documents, machine translation (MT) is an efficient and cost-effective service. However, for marketing materials or customer-facing documents, we recommend using human translation to ensure the quality meets your business's high standards for international operations.

What is Machine Translation?

Machine translation (MT) is a service that uses computer programs to translate content from one language to another. When you need quick and low-cost translations for internal information, our specialized software can provide immediate translation of your content.

Additionally, we offer machine translation with human post-editing (MTPE). This means that the machine-translated content will be reviewed and edited by professional translators to ensure the final output is more accurate and fluent.

Post-Editing of Machine Translation (MTPE)

Post-editing of machine translation (MTPE) refers to the process where translators review and modify the "raw" text generated by machine translation. We communicate with you to ensure that each project has the appropriate quality standards set, then edit the content according to these standards.

The extent of post-editing required depends on the intended use of the content. For internal use, minimal editing is needed, mainly to correct accuracy and grammar. However, for public-facing content, more extensive post-editing is necessary to ensure the copy is error-free and, if needed, to adjust the style and tone. Cultural differences for specific markets may also require comprehensive post-editing to make proper adjustments.

At Arrow Translation, we understand that your brand's reputation is vital. That's why we have a team of experienced linguists ready to refine machine-translated content. Through professional post-editing, clients can ensure the accuracy of multilingual communication and ensure it’s perfectly tailored to specific audiences.

How Does Our Machine Translation Service Work?

We offer machine translation services using advanced technology that provides high-quality translations instantly. Our software has been trained on global language models and nuances, allowing it to quickly translate large volumes of content, making it ideal for tasks that require fast turnaround.

Unlike some free online translation tools, Arrow Translation’s machine translation services ensure data security and guarantee that your language assets remain entirely yours, not the property of the translation service provider.

Advantages of Machine Translation

Multilingual machine translation is ideal for handling content that doesn’t involve direct customer interaction or isn’t highly critical, such as internal communications. In some cases, it’s also applicable for materials with large volumes of repetitive content, such as video transcripts or product descriptions.

Key advantages of machine translation include:

• Speed: Even with human post-editing, machine translation still delivers results much faster than traditional translation.
• Cost-effectiveness: For large volumes of repetitive content, machine translation is a very cost-effective solution.
• Scalability: Machine translation can handle an increase in content volume, helping manage more translation needs.

Which Content is Suitable for Machine Translation?

Machine translation is especially useful for quickly translating large volumes of text, particularly for repetitive or simple content. It’s ideal for the following types of content:

• Video Transcripts: For videos containing large amounts of interviews or dialogues, machine translation can quickly extract the main content of the video, which can then be further edited.
• Product Descriptions: Product descriptions often contain a lot of repetitive text, and machine translation can quickly and economically translate large quantities of these descriptions, helping businesses enter international markets faster and drive growth.
• Customer Reviews: Customer reviews are crucial for any business, particularly for multinational companies, and these reviews are often multilingual. Translating customer reviews helps identify potential issues promptly and avoid negative impacts, while also enhancing trust among potential customers and increasing conversion rates.
• Social Media Posts: Social media content directly impacts brand image and needs to be translated quickly for timely responses. Machine translation can effectively handle large amounts of social media text and quickly convert it into the target language.

Conclusion

Whether you need to quickly translate large volumes of internal documents or provide immediate market responses in the globalization process, machine translation and post-editing services offer a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for modern businesses. By collaborating with a professional translation team, you not only ensure the accuracy of your content but also ensure that it aligns with the cultural and linguistic preferences of your target market.
