About me and my company
I have worked in the translation industry since 1997 as a project manager, technology lead, and consultant. I have co-founded two translation companies, including Matrix Communications GmbH
Matrix is a mid-size language service provider (LSP) with approx. 50 employees, founded in 2006. We are based in Munich and service a wide range of industry and service sector clients throughout Europe.
We are actively using MT since 2011 and have been partners of since 2012.

Machine translation today
Many people are interested in MT.
Buyers realize that MT has limits butoften do not know how to push them.
Few enterprises are ready to invest intoa complex solution.
What the market expects is a tangible and transparent MT service at fair price.
What the market is lacking are sustainedrole models for everyday experience.
Everybody has used MT!
What to look out for?

MT in Industry: Business case context
Disrupt the cost structure!
![Page 6: Webinar automotive and engineering content 16.06.16](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062821/589c03291a28ab4f598b56a3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Where do we see potential for MT?
Productivity aid when translating texts in organizations that have...
• ... some level of control over authoring guidelines• ... a high degree of in-domain specificity• ... well-documented terminology• ... a well-established translation memory process
We find that this potential can be realized in, for example...
• Technical documentation (of many sorts)• User documentation• Financial reporting• Catalogue texts

MT case study
Customer: Engineering company with world-wide presence and a wide variety of high-tech products and service solutions
Content: Service documentation
Language pairs: German English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Chinese (Simplified) – further pairs currently in planning
Translation platform: Trados Studio
Implementation: TM + output, post-editors can work in their usual environment
Productivity: Productivity improves significantly per language
![Page 8: Webinar automotive and engineering content 16.06.16](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062821/589c03291a28ab4f598b56a3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Case study: Building MT engines in KantanMT We use customer-specific translation memories as input
(no other, less customer-specific corpora, although that is an option that Kantan has).
We use customer-specific terminology and make sure this is actually in the TMs
We edit our „raw“ TM input for the MT purpose.
Preparatory steps in clean-up before training may include:
Elimination of non-aligned segments, empty segments, segments that are too short/too long on either side, etc.
Normalization of capitalized words, acronyms, etc.
Certain linguistic checks (consistency), terminological checks.
TMX input size ranges from 100,000 to > 700,000 segments.
Our smallest engine was built on 150,000 words (!) – Specificity works!
Automated post-editing rules (PEX) are constantly optimized and extended.

Case study: Success factors and benefits
Success factors we have identified:
• Manage expectations on all sides.
• Identify suitable text types.
• Work with authors to optimize source.
• Invest in your TMs. Use suitable tools to maintain them.
• Train post-editors. Translators can be post-editors!
• Don‘t be afraid of ending up in dead ends. Reverse, and try again.
Benefits gained: • Turnaround times significantly reduced (translator throughput)
• Significant cost reductions
• Final workflow retains the same high quality standard
