Implementing MT - A LISA Best Practice Guide
More Words Are Translated by Machine Translation Than by Humans
MT Guide cover

Some Historical Background

Today, more words are translated per year using machine translation (MT) than are translated by human translators. MT is now a critical component for meeting the language demands of the 21st century. The LISA Best Practice Guide – Implementing Machine Translation will help you understand this technology: its uses, its limitations and how to evaluate and implement it to meet specific needs. Each section contains a series of questions and answers to aid readers in finding relevant content for their applications:


  • Understanding Machine Translation
  • What Is Machine Translation Used For?
  • Building a Business Case for Machine Translation
  • Evaluating, Choosing and Customizing a Machine Translation System
  • Using Machine Translation

The 65-page Guide also contains a list of additional resources, case studies and articles from the Globalization Insider and LISA archives that deal with MT implementation worldwide.
