Lingo24’s Machine Translation Team Launches Consultancy and Engine Build Service

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lingo24 Inc, one of the world’s fastest growing language service providers, has launched a machine translation (MT) consultancy to build customized tools for organizations working across multiple markets.

“While the web is more multilingual than ever, only a small volume of what could be translated is actually being translated. MT allows companies to translate a volume of content that was simply not possible before, and with ever improving accuracy levels.”

Headed by Professor Andy Way – recognized as one of the world’s leading MT experts – the Lingo24 team is at the forefront of innovation in this fast evolving, high growth sector.

As more companies operate internationally, demand is exploding for solutions to eliminate communications gaps. MT is revolutionizing this process.

Unlike free web tools, which compromise data security, custom MT engines are tailored to a company’s terminology, style, and tone of voice. They produce results comparable to human translation – and in some cases, better – at a fraction of the cost and virtually in real time.

“MT is a relatively young and very exciting technology,” said Professor Way. “We can transform the way global businesses operate and dramatically increase their competitiveness. Our custom engines enable customers to respond to the demands of today’s fast-moving economy, breaking down communication barriers without compromising quality.

“While the web is more multilingual than ever, only a small volume of what could be translated is actually being translated. MT allows companies to translate a volume of content that was simply not possible before, and with ever improving accuracy levels.”

As well as customized MT engines, the Lingo24 team will be launching a range of post-edited machine translation services, designed to fit every translation need and budget.
