“We joined forces with SDL to extend our native multi-language capabilities to further break down language barriers. We chose SDL because they share our passion for innovation and we are excited to integrate these new capabilities into our joint solution.”

New smart machine translation capabilities include:

• Content insight: The machine translation software can automatically identify languages and extract meaning from documents, reports, emails, and social posts. Customers can now access an automatic interactive summary in any language to make better content decisions.
• Expanded options for adaptation: Adaptive language pairs (previously enabled for on premise customers) is now available through the cloud. An easy-to-use, embedded, secure training environment allows users to adapt generic language models using their own data – allowing organizations to easily address very specific use cases and content profiles.
• Quality assessment: Increased transparency into quality of machine translation output, based on industry best-practices, allows decision-makers to make more informed assessments based on a higher standard of information.

“Our latest capabilities follow a long list of machine translation innovations dating back 25+ years,” explains Azad Ootam, Chief Technology Officer, RWS. “The combination of automatic translation and content insight gives us a unique way of helping customers to not just translate – but also understand their multilingual content.”

SDL Machine Translation is an enterprise-grade solution that automatically translates content across 2,700 language combinations. Some of the globe’s leading brands use the technology to engage with millions of customers.
