Static, dynamic and high value content use cases

A series of twelve machine translation (MT) use cases were crisply showcased at the recent TAUS Executive Forum in Barcelona. Together they provided a comprehensive overview of advanced user experiences among government, large enterprises and solution providers.

As MT quality continues to improve for user interfaces and technical publications, the leading edge of the market is turning its attention to new domains and applications for MT, such as user forums and online chat.

Speakers and participants recognized the opportunity to capitalize on MT services for the public, whether in the public sector, consumer markets, or in the localization value-chain itself with some tool developers providing near plug-and-play MT engines for LSPs.

According to the results of the March 2009 TAUS market survey, only 14% of the LSP (language service provider) respondents state that they will never use MT, 40% already use it today. This provides strong evidence that MT is moving into the mainstream among LSPS. To launch a series of reports on LSP deployment, this report focuses on the two major LSPs which own and develop their own MT systems.

Symantec's Localization Revolution

Symantec's Localization Revolution

In 2000, Symantec, the global leader in security, storage and systems management solutions for business and consumer information, decided to reorganize its global communication and publishing strategy. With rapid global expansion and product localization in over 40 languages, the company was finding it difficult to maintain brand consistency across messages published in different geographies. The global marketing team therefore decided to centralize control over all publishing processes.
