Last year as we pursued our research for the Multilingual Product Content study we saw an opportunity for further study of the role of machine translation (MT) as an element in the global content value chain (GCVC). To this end, Gilbane Group is now conducting an online survey on MT adoption and buyer / user expectations. The survey covers domains using MT, target applications, integration, benefits and business drivers, as well as obstacles to adoption.
Adoption of MT in some form or another is gaining acceptance and use (we anticipate) will soon be prevalent, especially as a strategy for managing user-generated content in multiple languages. We are seeking input from IT, content, and language professionals within global enterprises as well as service providers. Current adoption of MT is not a requirement for taking the survey.
The survey is online and will take less than 10 minutes to complete. In exchange for participation, respondents will receive aggregated survey results and the executive summary of the analysis. Take the survey now. Contact us if you have any questions about the research.
