New MT in Studio 2017

Good morning everyone,

I'm checking this new personalized MT feature that will come with Studio 2017. 

My question is: what is the source of this MT? SDL MT? Google? A mix?

Thank you in advance!

  • Hi Álvaro,

    I think you are probably misunderstanding what this is... I think? AdaptiveMT is machine translation that starts of as a basis by using SDL Language Cloud which you have today. So it doesn't matter what other resources you have as this works independently of those.

    All you would do is correct the machine translation and then two things would happen when you confirm it:

    1. The corrected TU would be sent to your Translation Memory as normal
    2. The machine translation engine would take note of your correction so it offered the corrected translation next time

    Now, you may well ask why this is useful given you already have this in your TM now? The reason it's useful is because the correction would be applied to other similar segments that are not translated yet but would benefit from the correction you have made. The machine translation will start to adapt to the way you are translating with improved translations for segments that you do not find in your TM.

    So your TM/Termbases/Dictionaries have nothing to do with this. It's not the same as training an Engine with thousands or TUs that you have translated in the past. This is much more dynamic.

    Hope I managed to explain that?

    On the trial version... yes of course, there will be a trial version at some point and all users will be able to test it if they wish. It's much too soon at the moment as we have still not reached the point where we have the production candidate.

    Regards
