SDL trends in automated translation survey
SDL, a provider of global information management solutions, has announced the results of a survey on trends in automated translation. Completed by over 385 individuals in global businesses -– of which over 71% were of managerial level and above -– the survey highlights an increase not just in the motivation of businesses to use automated translation compared to two years ago, but also in the actual deployment of the technology. SDL conducted the research in conjunction with the International Association for Machine Translation and Association for Machine Translation Americas.
Most respondents were familiar with the concept of automated translation, with nearly 25% either using it or planning to use it. Furthermore, 40% of companies said they were more likely now to utilize it. The survey also identified into which types of application organizations would consider incorporating the technology. Over half wanted to use it for generally producing foreign language versions of company content. The other areas of potential usage were fairly evenly distributed among integration with chat tools, in e-mail, Microsoft Word documents, on wikis and blogs, integrated into a web page and for conducting research on foreign language documents.
