Custom machine translation engine training

A Machine Translation engine is highly trained custom software which carries out automatic translation of your text. An MT engine can be the best solution for any projects which is: 

• High volume
• High turnover
• Repetitive

In order to deliver the quality of output you need, a Machine Translation engine needs to be “trained” on data which has been properly cleaned by an expert. Its output also needs to be post-edited by a qualified human translator until it reaches the desired quality levels.

Once a custom MT engine is properly trained, it can offer vast time and translation cost savings for correctly chosen projects.

Asian Absolute specialises in the creation and training of MT engines for all kinds of purposes. This has already included product reviews, internal communications, software documentation and user-generated content for global organisations.
