As large language models (LLMs) become more prominent, how are MT providers responding? What are the best ways to plan for the future and prepare your content for rapidly changing technology? Will LLMs power MT past human translators or will they enable new models of local content creation? Join us for an open exploration of MT technology and its changing technology, all in a no-slide, discussion-oriented format driven by your questions and suggestions.

The webinar, hosted by senior analyst Alison Toon, will feature a live conversation with three global enterprises: HP Inc, Intel Corporation, and Motorola Solutions. These companies are at different stages in their migration journey and will share their experiences, insights, challenges, and what they hope to achieve with their new tools and processes.

Bring your questions and join CSA Research senior analyst Dr. Arle Lommel for an open conversation with luminaries of the MT industry. This live discussion is a follow-up to our 2022 live panel and will focus on the latest developments and future trends in MT. The discussion will be based entirely on your questions (no slides!), so put your thinking caps on and bring your tough questions for a candid look at the technology.

Content is created in a language and often translated into other languages for the purpose of communication, commerce, or community. That’s the raison d’être of the language services and technology sector that turned over US 52 billion dollars in 2022. Looking ahead to 2023, what are the trends the language services industry should be following? Join analysts from CSA Research for a live discussion on a few of the 7 trends highlighted in our recent report. They will discuss how certain e...

Join CSA Research senior analyst Dr. Arle Lommel for a discussion of the “Reverse Swiss Cheese Model” – a way of thinking about the barriers and opportunities you create for international visitors to your website and business – and how it affects your business success. This approach lies behind the Global Customer Experience Calculator, a free tool that calculates the likelihood that individual customers in our “Can’t Read, Won’t Buy - B2C” panels will make it through the various stages ...

While translation reuses analytics and process KPIs are already part of the localization team’s core deliverables, many miss out on creating business-oriented guidance that can help functions in other areas of the company interpret the degree to which local markets contribute to revenue and growth. As AI and machine learning with other forms of automation advance rapidly, dashboards and their underlying data will continue to evolve. In time, much of the information that dashboards passively rep...

Mismatches in expectation between buyers and sellers of language services are a frequent source of quality problems and dissatisfaction. Many industries address such challenges through the establishment of “grades,” standardized descriptions of the qualities and features a good or service must exhibit to meet requirements for particular use cases. For example, tools may come in “consumer” and “professional” grades that have very different feature sets, and agricultural products may be assi...

In this presentation, Dr. DePalma rethinks the business value of localization in user, customer, and employee experiences. As localization becomes an essential enabler of global content and communication, it must become part of the enterprise business infrastructure. DePalma analyzes this “enterprise-ification” in terms of the people, process, and technologies that will evolve into this business-critical role.

The move to more inclusive language to deliver content that does not exclude people on the grounds of gender, race, class, sexuality, disability, or any other criteria, is changing how companies and organizations communicate. Many large businesses have already defined their diversity and inclusion (D&I) strategy, but what does that mean when it comes to global business, or for local multicultural communities? Does it even translate? The movement began in the United States, but as a global – and...

Enterprises aspire to a global customer experience, but often the individuals who are responsible for preparing the content to support this goal have little ability to assess its effectiveness when it is deployed. In many cases, localization groups think they are doing well because they manage the process and get good results from their vendors, yet their customers discover a far different reality, with mixed language (or unlocalized) content and graphics, links that go nowhere, and a generally ...
