The five steps of evolution in the language services industry
-
1.0Until the late 80s
Handmade translations
Translators handcrafted all texts using typewriters, pens, paper, and dictionaries. Each translation was a new creation and translators needed to be highly knowledgeable in their special subjects.
-
2.01990s
Digitalisation
Personal computers, e-mail and the internet became part of everyday life. Documents could be sent digitally and research was easier and faster. Jobs could be allocated worldwide in minutes.
-
3.02000 – 2016
Translation software
Computer-Assisted-Translation (CAT) tools became the norm. Translators had live access to terminology data and previous translations while working on new documents.
-
4.02016 – today
Machine translation
Neural machine translation produced text drafts in minutes. Translators began to move to post-editing machine-produced texts rather than translating from scratch. Content management systems could be connected directly to translation software.
-
5.0The world of wordinc today
AI-in-the-loop
Specially trained translation AI now delivers fast results. Native speakers then carry out post-editing on the AI texts to ensure all content is high-quality and culturally adapted.
