Machines are the Future of Translation

Embracing connectivity will future-proof your localization process.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of “humans vs machines” when talking about translation. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, automation can be a powerful tool in the localization life cycle. Its benefits can revolutionize the way your translation team works by:

Turning your tech stack from a series of silos into a single, connected system
Creating an automated workflow that can operate at any scale
Improving system interoperability and making your operations truly scalable

Lionbridge’s leaders are driving the conversation around automation, Machine Translation, and how technology will shape the future of localization. Discover their vision for the future in this article, originally published in multlingual.com.
