Machine Translation podcast interview

Christian Eisold, published in: Der Dolmetscher und Übersetzer Podcast | Interviews, Wissenswertes, Aufklärung, News, Weiterbildung, August 2020

In this interview by GFT from the series of interpreters and translators in business and industry , Christian Eisold was asked about machine translation. The interview focuses on a number of topics:

  • What kind of “homework” do companies have to complete before they can successfully set-up a machine translation environment? E.g.: Translation-oriented writing, terminology work?
  • To what extent can (and must) data security be preserved within machine translation?
  • Which translation methods are available for machine translation?
  • How can neural machine translation be improved?
  • How can a machine translation engine be fed with proprietary data?
  • Which languages and language directions provide best results in machine translation?
  • Which translation subjects provide best results, e.g. technology, marketing, medicine, etc.?
  • What is the best way to check machine translation?
  • Is a machine translation engine able to “learn” corrections from post-editors?

Expert opinion on neural machine translation

Christian Eisold, published in: “Tief im Wörtsee” by Nikola Noske, Süddeutsche Zeitung Nr. 301, Silvester/New Year 2019/20

“Most translation programs are currently based on so-called neural networks […]. The artificial neurons of such networks are arranged in layers and are linked to each other, similar to neurons in a human brain. The artificial brain learns connections independently from the data it is fed with  […]”.
