Smartling’s AI Translation Toolkit is a bundle of innovative, LLM-enhanced features that help you achieve cost savings, as well as improved consistency and quality, for your Machine Translation output.
Features of the AI Translation Toolkit
The Toolkit is currently comprised of three AI-powered features:
-
AI-Enhanced Glossary Term Insertion:
This feature enhances the functionality of Glossary Term Insertion in Machine Translations.
As a glossary term is inserted in a machine translated string, its inflection needs to be adapted to the surrounding sentence structure. By using an LLM to correct the grammatical structure, AI-Enhanced Glossary Term Insertion significantly improves the probability of a correct translation output, which adheres to your preferred terminology. -
AI Fuzzy Match Repair:
This feature is used in conjunction with TM Match Insertion in Machine Translations.
AI Fuzzy Match Repair helps increase your Translation Memory leverage in Machine Translations by optimizing available matches. As a result, more of your existing translations can be reused, helping you achieve a higher level of consistency, as well as potential cost savings. -
Edit Effort Estimation for Machine Translation:
This feature allows you to estimate the level of effort required by a human editor during the Post-Edit step. Based on this assessment, human validation can be utilized in the most efficient way, for example by routing only content with a high predicted edit effort to an in-depth editing step. -
AI Formality Adjustment for Machine Translation:
This feature allows you to adjust Machine Translations by any provider from a formal to an informal register. This ensures that your audience can be addressed with the correct level of formality. If a human post-edit step is used, the automated formality adjustment helps reduce manual effort and increase efficiency.
How to enable and access the AI Translation Toolkit
To enable the AI Translation Toolkit for your Smartling account, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager. The features which are part of the AI Translation Toolkit cannot be purchased individually, but they can each be enabled or disabled as needed.
Once the AI Translation Toolkit has been activated for your account, access the AIT Hub from the top navigation in your Smartling dashboard.
Here, you can find the AI Translation Hub Dashboard, which provides an overview of your usage of the AI Translation Toolkit. Intuitive reports display at one glance how the AI Translation Toolkit enhances your Machine Translation output and process.
Supported workflows
The AI Translation Toolkit can be used for any Machine Translation workflow - whether Machine Translation is the first or the final step in the workflow. It is particularly suitable for content that goes through a Machine Translation step, followed by a step for human Post-Editing ("MTPE").
The Toolkit is not available for workflows managed by Smartling Language Services.
Supported MT Providers
The AI Translation Toolkit can be used with any Machine Translation engine, whether you would like to get your content translated by Smartling Auto Select, an MT provider of your choice or even a custom trained MT engine.
Supported languages
The AI Translation Toolkit can be applied to all target languages supported by Smartling.
However, for best results, we recommend using it for the following high-resource languages: Spanish, French, German, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, Korean, Italian and Dutch.
