Translation plays a key role in how people, institutions, and systems share information across languages. From business, science, law, and healthcare content, effective translation helps make communication possible between groups who don't speak the same language.
The importance of translation technology can’t be understated. The global translation services market was estimated at $42.2 billion in 2024.
This article explains what translation means in its’ various use cases. It also describes how to integrate AI translation paired with human revision into existing workflows to expand audience reach and unlock various benefits.
Key Takeaways:
- Translation is more than just replacing words. It involves understanding the context, culture, and purpose of the original text. A good translation captures not just what was said, but how and why it was said.
- Translation takes on different forms depending on the content and purpose. Each type requires specific skills and knowledge to ensure accuracy and effectiveness.
- Translation today uses both artificial intelligence (AI) and human expertise. Each approach has strengths and limitations that make each more suitable than the other for different situations. You can also use the two methods in tandem to create an efficient yet accurate workflow of translating content.
