Translation workflow with GenAI
The ultimate goal of translation is an improved user experience of your website
Websites should be multilingual by design to ensure global accessibility. However, translation has traditionally been cumbersome and costly, causing many companies to sideline their multilingual aspirations.
MT (Machine Translation) was brought into the workflow to increase efficiency and reduce cost. It has significantly improved the speed and affordability of translating large volumes of content. However, it struggles with the intricacies of human language and often requires post-editing to remove the “machine smell.”
The advent of Generative AI, as exemplified by ChatGPT a year ago, has revolutionized the machine translation landscape. Machine translation, now powered by LLM (Large Language Model)—AI translation—has shed its 'machine smell.' The need for traditional post-editing is now a thing of the past.
AI, however, can sometimes hallucinate and inaccurately translate terminology such as product names. Instantmt introduces a workflow that allows users to designate specific areas as DNT (Do Not Translate) and define terminology. It harnesses state-of-the-art AI language models and delivers unparalleled translation excellence.
User feedback is not just important in website translation; it's indispensable. Translation's ultimate aim is to enhance the user experience, so incorporating a feedback loop in the workflow is vital. This loop serves as a compass, guiding us to whether the translation has truly delivered on its promise.
Instantmt offers a unique feature: a feedback panel. International companies can engage their in-country representatives, such as pre-sales or service partners, in real-time reviews with context. Even if your company doesn't have an in-country presence, you can still leverage accredited power users to provide valuable feedback.
This feedback process is convenient and unintrusive. It encourages users to suggest changes, which improves the translation quality and the overall user experience.
