Machine translation - evolution not revolution

Jennifer A Brundage


Abstract
The continuous trend towards globalization means that even the most modern of industries must constantly re-evaluate its strategies and adapt to new technologies. This not only involves living up to the demands set by the product life cycles but also to find solutions satisfying additional internal needs. As a long-time supporter of MT and TM technology, SAP has shown that it can make productive use of competitive, commercial NLP products. As a first step, an integrated solution using TM together with MT was targeted. Having implemented different solutions for two types of documentation, the focus is now on not merely to integrate other technologies (e.g. terminology mining or controlled language) but to provide a uniform solution for processing any type of text. This involves not only supporting the needs of technical writers and translators but of all employees in their multilingual working environment.
