Machine translation (also known as Automated Translation) is an instant and automatic translation of content from one language to another by computer with no human assistance. Typical examples of uses of machine translation include:

• Accelerating human translation productivity by providing an initial translation for human post-editing

• On-demand translation of support knowledge-base content into different languages for customer self-service
• A general (“gist”) translation of content for information discovery – like emails, documents and websites

SDL provides statistical and rules-based machine translation technology solutions. The solution can be used both internally and externally, integrated as part of an existing business process for localizing content and to provide both a 'gist' meaning of content and high-quality translation for published information.

Companies such as Best Western, CNH, Microsoft, HP and Renault have been gaining substantial business benefit from automated translation from SDL

But how do these developments help in a world with new rising economic powers and the need to communicate to consumers in their own language?
