Trends in Automated Translation
At the end of 2009, SDL ran a survey with the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA) and the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT).
This was the second time the survey was conducted, enabling comparison with the 2008 survey, to produce year-on-year trends.
Interest in machine translation, that SDL refers to as automated translation continues to grow and for the first time, the survey sought opinion on the adoption of machine translation with human post-editing.
