Abstract |
| This report includes details about IBM, Language Engineering Company (LEC), Language Weaver, Meaningful Machines, Microsoft Research, PROMT, SDL International, SYSTRAN, and Verbalis. We will add other vendors as we continue our investigations into this topic.
These suppliers represent a cross-section of the MT development community, including existing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, research projects, a service offering, and some products new-to-market differentiated by technology, language pairs, features, speed, and supporting tools. We chose to represent this information in a catalog format to capture details that we consider to be important - and that will allow us to track innovations over time as we update this research.
|
Benefits |
| In General: When used in conjunction with our "Automated Translation Technology" report, this document should be most useful to anyone evaluating the use of automated translation solutions. This report will not be useful to information consumers wondering whether they should use automated translation technology. |
| For Buyers: Any organization that produces information for global consumption may find MT useful for filling in the gaps of human translation (HT) or increasing the effectiveness of their HT budgets. Evaluators, decision makers, information technologists, and content management specialists need this information to determine the suitability of MT for their applications and the ability to integrate automated translation into their technology infrastructure. |
| For Suppliers: Some LSPs use MT for pre-processing jobs. Evaluators will be interested in optimization and interfaces for integrating with their core operating and workflow systems. |
