Today, the word digitalisation is on everyone’s lips and artificial intelligence has also arrived in the translation industry. This change enables a “made by machine” translation concept, which we offer as part of our translation service portfolio. Machine translation (MT) is an automated translation by a so-called engine, a specially trained computer program.<\/p>\n

Machine Translation – AI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

COMLOGOS offers neural machine translation (NMT). You can therefore expect the output to be of very high quality, sometimes significantly higher than with statistical or rule-based MT. The engines for NMT are based on neural networks that are modelled on those found in the human brain. The input is processed by encoders and decoders into a numerical equivalent and then translated into the target language using multiple hidden layers (arranged like neurons in the human brain). This means NMT systems, just like humans, are able to learn. Due to the complex structure of the system, extensive and sustained initial and further training is necessary.<\/p>\n

Your benefits: Efficiency!<\/h3>\n

COMLOGOS has risen to these new challenges and can bring real benefits to you with the help of these new technologies. We can deliver machine translations two to three times more quickly than is the case with a human translation<\/strong>. We also help you to reduce your costs – all for your success. The costs for machine translation are up to 50% lower than human translation costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you need a translation particularly quickly or cost-effectively, consider whether machine translation is worthwhile for you. We use your existing translation memories and terminology databases in combination with the engine<\/strong>. This increases the translation quality and speed enormously!<\/p>\n

Important info & limitations – things to know.<\/h3>\n

Machine translation can be a meaningful alternative. That’s right! But it too has certain limitations. We get to the bottom of these in more detail here. You should always check in advance to see whether the text in question is at all suitable for MT. In doing so, the purpose of the translation and the quality of the text to be translated must be taken into account.<\/p>\n
