The Evolution of AI Translation

There are different types of MT:

• Rule-based systems based on grammar rules and dictionaries.
• Statistical systems which don’t rely on language rules: the system ‘learns’ to translate by analyzing large amounts of data produced by humans.
• Neural Machine Translation (NMT) teaching machines to use their ‘brain’ by learning through a neural network.
• Hybrid MT systems combining the best technologies.

AI translation is powered by constant progress and improvement, just like any rapidly developing system. Moreover, AI translation allows us to save time and money.  

Human post-editing is still needed to guarantee accuracy. However, it becomes more efficient and less intensive, as AI has an ability to learn and become more intelligent.

MT is a great solution when plain understanding of source texts is a purpose. Meanwhile, marketing, business and advertising fields exceptionally need professional translation done by humans, as only they can understand other humans’ emotions and needs, as well as put them into words.

Today, on-going collaboration between AI and human translators seems to be the smartest solution for our industry.
