Machine translation is improving rapidly and will continue to grow as a market. In the near future, translation services will be more automated and integrated into digital content strategies. However, machine translation alone is not enough - human translation services will still be needed to ensure quality, handle terminology and linguistics, provide cultural insights, and optimize processes. The translation industry will continue to evolve by using technology to enhance human translation where it is still required.

6. Maybe, once the machine gains consciousness, until then...
But does machine translation alone do the trick?

8. In our digital universe...
...translating is a matter of deciding to

9. We asked our clients:
Translation services of the near future are...
“...always on. Happen
in the background.“
“... needed without
delay. Lower quality is
acceptable when
speed is essential.“
“... efficient and
automated, avoiding
redundancy.“
“...the core of a
multilingual
