WAKEFIELD, Massachusetts and
MAIDENHEAD, England, June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
SDL today announced that its Neural Machine Translation (NMT)
technology is now part of SDL Enterprise Translation Server 7.4
(SDL ETS), a secure Machine Translation (MT) platform for regulated
industries.
Deployed on premise or in a private cloud environment, SDL ETS
is designed for companies facing tight regulations, and offers
total control of MT-related data. Data never leaves the corporate
network, and only individuals with the right access rights can
access content. The technology has already been used in the most
demanding government agencies for 15 years.
"NMT holds the promise of delivering significantly better MT and
extending it to areas where current solutions are not good enough
and content remains untranslated. CSA Research predicts that NMT
will play an ever-increasing role in enterprises' multilingual
content strategies," said Arle
Lommel, senior analyst at CSA Research.
SDL ETS can be customized for more than 18 industries, ranging
from life sciences and financial services through to retail,
engineering and legal. It can also be trained to learn specific
corporate terminology, style and branding guidelines. SDL's Neural
MT provides a powerful framework to overcome some of the complex
challenges facing machine translation. It uses a deep learning
architecture that learns the meaning of the text, rather than
associated words in a sentence.
"SDL has a clear focus on the global enterprise and has a strong
commitment on delivering MT solutions that are secure and
scalable," said Thomas Labarthe, EVP
of Business and Corporate Development, SDL. "With over 15 years of
experience in machine learning, coupled with linguistic
optimization expertise, SDL is best positioned to help solve
content volume and translation challenges for leading
enterprises."
SDL's MT technology is already helping Microsoft Office users
automatically translate text from within Word and PowerPoint
through a simple, easy-to-use add-in. A selection of APIs and
integrations for SDL's MT technology are also on offer for
translation agencies (LSPs), enterprises and government
organizations. The technology can be easily included in complex,
global content workflows, and third-party applications using SDL's
out-of-the-box integrations.
With 15 years research and development in machine learning, SDL
continues to lead the industry in both innovation and experience,
translating billions of words a month. SDL first productized MT in
2005, and its Neural MT research team is accredited with more than
45 patents, and 200 peer-reviewed publications.
