The Lionbridge 2023 Machine Translation Report

Prepare To Capitalize on Machine Translation Disruption and Resulting Improvements

Get excited. Big changes in the Machine Translation (MT) space are now underway.

Significant developments in the MT space began emerging after a lackluster year in 2022, as demonstrated by the Lionbridge Machine Translation Tracker, the longest-standing measurement of the major MT engines. During this time, the major Neural Machine Translation engines failed to improve quality substantially, creating conditions ripe for disruption.

What’s next? We expect a new paradigm to emerge that will likely involve generative AI (GenAI) / Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT. We project the new paradigm to significantly enhance automated translation quality and enable companies to increase content output. Are you prepared to leverage these technological advancements?

It’s imperative to understand how the disruption will impact localization to get the most from your global content and maximize its reach.
