Automated Translation
Communicate Like You've Never Communicated Before
Much of the content created within your business is written in one language, and yet it would benefit people who do not understand that language. The lack of availablility of content in different languages affects both internal and external communications. That is why a recent survey showed a dramatic increase in interest in automated translation solutions as a means for translating content that may never have been translated before.
Automated (or machine) translation provides an automatic and instant translation of content from one language to another. Typical examples of uses of automated translation include:
- On-demand translation of support knowledge-base content into different languages
- 'Gist' translation of general website information
- Rapid translation of virus alerts
- Automated translation integrated with business applications such as Microsoft Office® and chat tools to improve internal and external communications
SDL provides a complete solution for automated translation which matches the needs of customers. The solution can be used both internally and externally, be integrated as part of an existing business process for localizing content and can be used to provide both a 'gist' meaning of content and high-quality translation for published information.
Companies such as Best Western, CNH, Microsoft, HP and Renault have been gaining substantial business benefit from automated translation from SDL.

The pace of technological change in the developed world has increased dramatically in the last quarter of a century. A little over 25 years ago, IBM launched the world's first home computer and since then the computer and related technologies have changed the world and provided an information-rich society. But how do these developments help in a world with new rising economic powers and the need to communicate to consumers in their own language?
