For this end, Sejong University held a competition between human calibers and translation automated tools, in collaboration with the International Interpreters & Translators Association of Korea.  As per VentureBeat: “humans beat both AI-based machine translation tools with a clear margin for content types and language combinations (Korean <> English). Post-editors stated approx. 90% of MT output was “grammatically awkward!!” or even if not obviously wrong, but definitely never a kind of native speaker content.”

In addition, Digitalistmag Magazine gives another explanation that: “technology works by recognizing words, as MIT Technology Review puts it, “takes advantage of relationships words strings… which are similar across languages” to provide MT output translations.”

Thus, it’s clear that machines can do only simple translation tasks, but far away from producing a sophisticated translation with all complexities of idioms, coherent flow, cultural nuances, syntax or semantics. And that’s where the human factor is dominating!

AI and IoT may have succeeded in joining the race, but they are still at a distance of winning the first place.

So, despite that we may not lose our jobs and replaced by AI and IoT, but we need to keep our guards up!

We need to excel in language technology. Translation industry stakeholders must be aware, oriented and trained to the AI and IoT applications to make best use of them to serve their needs and expedite the processes.

Internet of Things (IoT) is designed to be up and running all the time, which means that the upgrading lifecycle is a fast and nonstop process. And this is where humanized translation factor takes the lead! Translators and localization experts within the teams work on the IoT product system are highly needed to rapidly localize the product manuals, UI and other supporting content. The level of language accuracy needed in such tasks cannot be done only by artificial intelligence, it needs a hand of a human mind as well.
No space for machine errors!

As stated before, machines can do only simple translation tasks, but far away from producing a sophisticated authentic translation. A gap translation and localization experts can take advantage of when working on an IoT product. Owner can’t afford the money and time wasted due to misinterpretation caused by machines. They need experts (i.e. post-editors) to supervise the process and ensures accurate, cultural nuances and error-free translation.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!

Familiar with that idiom? Unbabel is. Unbabel is a translation platform that initiated the notion of the collaboration of the speed of machines and the authenticity of native translators, forming a powerful and inspiration alliance.  Why competing with Artificial Inelegance (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) while we can alliance for generating a perfectly flawless translation and localization process?

Yes, Artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) represent risky challenges for the humanized translation factor. But they represent opportunities as well. The question is, are you ready to seize them?

Knowing about the translation strategy

Generally translation strategy is divided in to 2. That is Source and Target language focus. Most beginners focus on source language focus.

Source language focus talks about: the word for word, literal and faithful translation. Word for word translation is mostly used in situation where the translator comes across cultural words. For example you won’t expect the English cultural words to be the same as that of Italian words. So, the translator must feel the heart of the writer to translate from English to Italian. For literal translation, grammatical structures are converted to the near equivalent words. Situations like this occurs when translation of the sentence does rhyme with the context. Most a times, situation like this occurs when translating in to Arabic. It takes a professional to translate in such context and he/she makes sure the communication flows well. The translator use faithful translation to draw out and explain the meaning of other words

Target language focus talks about: Adaptation, free translation and idiomatic translation. In adaptation, it speaks more of using culture to interpret the text. Indians communicate through culture. That is why translating from English to Hindi would not be a problem to professionals. It communicates better when it comes to translating words. Free translation talks about keeping the content expressed in the target text. In this type, buyers can easily purchase what a seller has in stock because the seller kept the important content of his/her text. Idiomatic translation makes use of idioms. Beginners in translation always find it difficult translating this type of text because it gives a completely different story from what the writer wants.
